Poetry - 2006

a reading for Dionne Smith by Lloyd Godman

Flippantomime

anchored in utopian impositions of destiny and economic growth
what silly games we play to fool ourselves the world is stable
there is an infinite resource to exploit
and our games just get more alien
cause has no effect
is no belief system
there is laughter in the chaos
if we look the jesters tricks
the world turns upside down
gravity dissolved
weightlessness prevails
reality is removed
