THE SIXTH DAY AFTER ELIZABETH WINDOR’S DEATH

 Disrespectful parakeets squawk in the garden,

Washing machine and radio mumble on,

The first washing away biological evidence with soap,

The second erasing dissent with propaganda.

And so a dynasty rolls on over me,

Like a driverless tank,

Or a blind elephant with a felon chained to its foot.

Whatever I think or say,

I’m still subjected to having to be a disloyal subject.

The mundane morning sounds erase

My republican dreams.
