London Calling

I’m watching a replay of the London bombings one year on.
The grinding details regarding the pain
Felt
By
Those
Who remain behind
Brought out for a re-union with we
Who are numbed by earthquakes and bombs
And tsunami’s and bombs
And Aids and bombs and big bright Mercedes motor cars
And the forgettery that wipes everything clean as soon as we know it wasn’t us that
Got bombed.

Getting our attention is more and more difficult and calls
For ever more
Intrusive
Modes of intrusion.

Take notice of me. Now.
Last night ‘they’-the Beeb played scenes from a tape
Released by who knows who
And
Allegedly featuring one
Of the
Suicide liberation fundamentalist
Irrationalist perp’s in the whole bombing
Bit

And for a moment I thought of V
And who’s playing

Whom
In this asymmetrical game we are having with
Ourselves.
