oh you get sick but you try to make it right
by thinking hard of kings and Viking ships
maybe History could make the difference
the assumption is that there is a Thing
out there somewhere in there somewhere
that everyone knows
to which they can be summoned
before which they will stand deflated
outside of which
all of us are flies
this is the thing with Justice
its gears
its voice
but there's nothing
but the clamour
as the flies home in
a week from now
your family will recoil
when they lift the sheet
I live by the river—Joe Strummer
