Neighbours in house

They shout as you sleep deep in your shrine

Of banks, of ports…the regular sixty-nines,

Their voice more volatile than your troubled times

They are the Pariahs of known Parliamines!


Like the woods, they’ve taken fire after blows

From outsides and within; On mysteries they know,

On backbones and bellies, that’ve thrown out their ribs

Into a dome of weapons that clatters as you sleep.


You panic, you lineup, you repeat the word nation

That has ever seen you detach your organs, and ration

To become such a neuron, You may not understand

Their ways so cobweb to tell life from the land!


And lives for those lands, as Parliamines change faces

So does its foes, from spinning wheel to bayonet;

“A fence makes good neighbours”, that’s what we all are

Though you may think it as a house, and its members.
