New Year ~ CCTV
Superman and Lois Lane
Argue for their future
His new mobile
Pierced by her stiletto
Too many kisses on a text message.
Elvis spews across the pavement
Clutching his blow up guitar
Rhinestones ruined.
A cowboy in a passionate embrace
With a kerbstone,
Wakes sleepy streets
As he slurs his lament
To a flowerpot.
Snow White waits
As Prince charming multitasks –
Scoffing his kebab
Whilst pissing in a doorway.
Two Lieutenant Uhurus
Walk in a straight line
Looking nearly sober
Save their wonky wigs
And smeared make up.
A gorilla hails a cab
Gives it the finger
Then runs when the cop car slows.
Little pixies cling to pushchairs
More stable than their fairy tale folk.
Lois throws her final punch
At Superman.
A dog has his first crap
Of 2008.
