Fresh Juice
Broken promises and handshakes are not worth
the paper they're printed on, or stolen from
you tell me your head hurts, well
my face aches and it's the fault
of television, fast food, public transport
the stars, the sneaky firmament
and its arcane influence
the economic outlook
and the political infrastructure
about which I know less than I have written
stand there in your dirty shoes
blaming all the beautiful people, and
especially the ugly ones
I'm listening to the hovering silence
and craving some new indulgence
- Graham Coleman
