AH, YES, GARETH

AH, YES, GARETH

Ah yes Gareth
is, this, not a case
of who will
guard guardians (custodes
custodet ipse)

or that old
joke against the Reich
involving bicycle riders
and Jews

we see
how neatly education,
class and
       wealth translate
into realms political as
more insidious
species of liar

as the world clamours
for democracy in the face
of every species of
fascism

I confess to be less
than entertained as your
stale brethren
by the puttering
posturings
of your pithy little pen.
