tired of

"tired of!"

tired of
tired of
tired of the prissy and the precious
of those who go round with wicker baskets
and collect adverbs and adjectives
cobalt blue thoughts, arabesque fantasies
which rhyme with expensive wall tiles
and they end up with other polished
artifacts that meet the house styles
of arts council funded magazines
where the finished product reigns
supremelike something out of a Habitat catalog
tired of tired of you want to get an eric partridge
dictionary of slang and at random
without using a condom of conformity
say fuck you, assmunches, you turds!
and party on dudes! party on!
tired of
tired of
the pretence of difference,
the so called eclectic and exotic
who quotes pound who was basically
unsound
and chants something in hindustani
something quite incomprehensible
something like servant boy get me
a glass of goats milk
and the otherness of other
why that's you in the mirror!
tired of tired of
translating English into English
