Calumny

maybe pasting Geoffrey
Rush and Cate Blanchett
‘legends of the screen’
stamps on the envelope
arrested progress

realisation the car
should have been
Service Centred by 8am
occurred 09:38 – and
the day unravelled
introspectively

‘tho banking was
achieved and your letter
mailed an inept apology
left no way back to
a sanctuary of
equilibrium

meditative scratching
of five-day-old hornet stings
explains that scheming your
own destiny
in fact creates
mayhem
