AAAREAGHAHYAH
I scream.
Possibly connecting
to another place
Or time
As the scream
streaks out
Of my silly
old face
Am I channeling an ancient saxon
Or some long
dead celt?
Or does my
scream go further down
The spine of
ancestry?
Is it the
scream of an unknown proto-chimpanzee?
Or of the
first fish mad enough
To crawl up
a beach?
Or have I given
voice to
The old old
slime mould
That cannot
speak?
No, I’m just
a stupid man.
Screaming at
a comma on a computer screen
That won’t
do what I want
To punctuate
a message to
A hospital
urology department.
