AUNTIE

AUNTIE

auntie
knows best

she banned
the sex pistols
and they
were
pure poetry

lampooned
the punk
sensibility

which lassoed her
back with a
lait of
    barbed wire

sowed
satirical fire

telling her and
the whole damned
lot of them

their fundanental
humanity
              left
a lot
to be desired

saw
   before any of us

the hole in the heart
of this
     terminally convoluted
self-
    sabotaging self-
disregarding machine

auntie
   knows best

she banned the sex pistols
not an idea
           in her head
