'bastards' she yells at the tv
as it burbles out news
and she leaves to stir dinner
'bastards' could be anyone
as I sit in the study
trying not to smile at her summing up
the heinous hordes killing and looting
or the latest in government policy
spoke large by a glib politician
and my love's voice giving
all the world's news
a postmodern tag
'bastards'
could be anyone
curiosity gets the better of me
I'll go and see
