Little Boys choice – a riddle

Embryos are smaller than fetuses

fetuses are smaller than children

children are smaller than women

women are smaller than men

men are smaller than atomic bombs

according to this logic

atomic bombs are right.

Royal cigarettes

Better world, where is the better world

I’m down chained to the earth with no beauty around

and I dream about

white pages and black india ink

and a bench in acacia hedge garden

but no

it all belongs to the queen

and I belong on the street

on the pavement which belongs to the nation

and I smoke my cigarette under the foggy sky

because I can

but what am I going to do

what am I going to do

when the state say

‘you can’t smoke on the sidewalks anymore’?
