the death penalty,
popular again
a terrible undercurrent
belies us
in our Malthusian maelstrom

Who is this shallow egoist 
whom the collective female
consistently rails against ?

Oh, ghastly phenomena
of railways and plumbers

do you remember
squareformat telly ?

Shitty poems
Worth less than bricks
And flagstones

Hope's progress

Those who pursue hope in the answers and speculations, the
wonderful hypotheses of science are the ones looking for
certainty and a future predicated by hope in progress.   The hopes of the lowest evangelical believer are less offensive because they aren't as arrogant in the certainties of their great assumptions, hedged in as they are by delusions of the most grandiose of loves.
