Kextehude in Budgeree
"the Cambridge group to which the absent J.H.Prynne is godfather" (Tony
Frazer, _Chicago Review_)
So polite,
poetry's Old Bill
across the pond,
leaning in for
a cupped word
with the Guv'nor -
a little bother,
incriminating
cadence done
a runner...
Hereabouts,
in the far west
of the end,
the raw passage
from scripture
to script might
run:
"Sir. Step
out, sir [politeness
poised on a nightstick]
step out of the vehicle:
no sudden moves
of the semantic kind,
keep your meanings
clearly visible
at all times. Buxte-what?!
Visored allusions
constituting
forms of assault.
Now assume the position."
