re-election 'Red' Ken Livingstone ( I realise that this may be a bit
political for staid old academentia haha

Subject: snap
post-election blues / snaps
large flakes of snow
softly fell all day
to cover only slightly
dirt & dogshit scattered everywhere
signage droops banners
listless hang above
slow melting windrows
brown beneath & stolid
so many pieces of paper
delivered to nonentity
the same the same
momently unmoved
a kind of moping
the icy streets the icy
streets slip
shoddy all ways
