Mainly warm, asleep and safe.




No Einsteins here, no equations,
just gormless, goggle-eyed queues.
Some pray before false angels
end up dancing in psychiatric wards.
Build safe families with a perfect mortgage,
file it all under standard procedure.
Keep the monkey and bananas in the pen.
Hose yourselves down don't run the risk
of catching fire while the comets explode.
Bolt the doors, lock the windows.
God forbid the chaos of the fearless spirit
should catch our eye.

(2005)
