My poetry is dying from the waist down. One has to deal with this somehow. Here's a picture of me blowing an imaginary trumpet on the Bowder Stone:

Some Fairies in Blue Scoots
ONE DAY some Fairies from outside became
in Blue Scoots to peel off the Wallpaper tear down
the Lights unwire everything even everyone's Hearts
in clouds of hacking plaster dust and the Fay Fury of our
Organs of lead
unplugged on the wet Pavements outside
shivered the Rain began to rise-oh
what have we done but then the Windows and O
the Bells began the Bats and Rats
have you ever seen this?
in Startles of scooting blue Arrivals began
in such strange Gaits we parted from the Scene
again in the Flurries
(think again of love and what)
our little scaredy Hearts
might beg for unfairying so they might and what
of it now for surely?

Mr Trump on Sunday
attached at either end to hoses and pumps
in accordance with the terms of his punishment
like a great wilted thing slowly forcing itself
into life motivated by some primal need for fodder
Mister Trump inflates, his puckers evening and
ironing out, his cellulite smoothing, his face
taking on a forced fat smile; he rises, unsteadily
shaking, quivering and pink, naked, foolish,
regretful at last; he ascends over the rooftops
like the vast rear end of a fattened autumnal hog
propelled by uncertain farts; higher he climbs,
observed by all viewers everywhere, as children with bows
and arrows with suckers and pea-shooters
attempt to knock him down like a blimp filled
with gas that may just ignite and crash
upon the grass amongst the cats and sandwiches
to scare the spectators, each of whom
has paid a heck-of-a-lot of money to be here
each of whom is a little scared of what might
happen next; but all that happens is his grin
gets bigger; his bottom balloons out into the clouds
and he drifts away to take his place upon high
in the starry pantheon of people we no longer
give even half a shit about, but would still like
to see die in our heart of hearts
