forty years later

cotton drinks our freshwater

hydrate frequently

looks are deceiving

these children aren’t magnetised

they are summoning

notice that the child

sitting behind is off-task

he will get a smack

this is a russian

we had to be inclusive

space is a cold war

don’t be confused

there’s just one girl on the bar

not seven phantoms

not all of us can

stand on a giant penis

don’t try this at home

his small dog doesn’t

get its name mentioned as its

all about leo hey

jeezus, we can’t show

smoking on tv ads now

but space probes are fine

oh look, here’s one but

we’ve made it a slave to wood

carve out the forest

he crafts elephants

we hope that you get to see

real ones in the wild
