Plant the News
Poem I wrote in a workshop in Oxford.

Plant the news in tomorrow’s landfill
Because the politicians and comedians
Have swapped roles.
🤡
Have I come to the right convention?
Is this the right bathroom?
There’s green-lit eyes on stamps,
And those red cheeks at the labels.
💮
Think about it: these tropes
are just a fraction of humanity
🫂
Forget misery; practise the peace
We’ve been practising in the
Palaces of deities.
🦅
Because if the bar is open
It’s never too late or too early
To hydrate.
🍻
