Calmly squatting on top
out of the blood passes
with a defective toy bus, the smoke
honeymoon atmosphere permeating
all the dead factories militates
no doubt against
the production of work
supposedly undid in the morning
I was born dwelling
in their landscape as they bathe across
the mews from Millionaires to Millionaires
on the telephone
the landlord informed me sighing
that he knew what it was.
But answered
that in other parts of the building
comprising shops and apartments
there were very bad cases indeed
I was not unfortunately the only one
he wished I was he wished
it was only nice people with dry
rot in them somewhere
you must take your place in the queue
beams, joists, architraves, jambs,
window-frames, floorboards of these
unlived-in places and simply stay there
