scuffers

Scuffers they call us yet We call ourselves Worse by far Intimate rancor Deprecated Intricate patterns Infiltrate ya Critical parents Fear and lust Unwashed mortals Scraping toast Stabbed in the eye boy Loop di loop Pitchfork blithely Tins of poop there’s a spark an affinity all but some Even the useless Ghoulish stuttering Fools we are Fall in gutters Look to the stars Semblance slit Slivery shard Redeem-less flit Of lucid gaping Lipo sikd From colour tv’s Roll down down On your knees We the goldfish Carnival hoax Take us home Until we bloat Gilded wishes Toilet fodder Where is Jesus Saving a robber We the scuffers Rot and stink Till you drop us Down the sink. 26/08/21
