The Kill

Saw the fog envelop the road

Housing the bums existing in boxes

Where the rats live

Beneath the feted rich

In the glass-fronted towers

With poor doors for the black ones

To wait on them as they debate

Issues of pressing concern

Like a "hard working" mantra

While observing personal increases according to every conceivable current account. 


Saw the fog envelop the road

And the eyes of the left behind

Fix a middle-distance glimmer

On the kill.
