I wanted that one
but it broke
(brittle Britain)

Join in with the last hymn
before supper is served.

I am reading from Deuteronomy
part fiction, part history
the theologians hold it to
be true
but there's a book about them too
so they would do,

all in the mix together
putting the fix in
whatever.

This is unfinished poetry
if you don't like it
talk to me, but
I can't promise
I'll listen.
