The world brims: light, water...
A tattoo (like fronds)...fronds like a tattoo...

Tidy up the scene
Frank is telling me – “The feds are on the move,
It’s a black kid so they’ve no time to lose.
They shoot the man in his car.
Another wet-wiped local star.
The cops get their stories straight --
it’s not too late
to practice what they’re meant to mean
and tidy up the scene.”
Frank is telling me – “The judges could not lose.
It’s politics so they call it stealing shoes.
Attacking shopping’s a protest too far,
the trainer’s sacred, so’s the bra.
Retail’s endangered, unique.
Justice slurs when it starts to speak:
jail the poor to keep the righteous clean,
tidy up the scene.”
Frank is telling me – “Half the country’s on my tail,
the TV and the holy Mail –
just for the colour of my ‘tan’.
England doesn’t need the Klan:
when your skin can’t be trusted
your future’s done-and-dusted.
It’s ‘empathy’ and arm-lock, phone the Condolences Team,
tidy up the scene.”
Frank says softly – “Don’t listen to what I’m saying –
look at the boys here playing,
thinking up a new world with laughs and Lego,
colour and creation from the chaos at the get-go.
They both start in the same circumstances –
you know the difference in their likely life chances.”
Then he calls to my boy and his Dean,
gentle, like he’s lost all spleen,
subtle, like there’s more he wants to mean
(he makes me think I’m down there with the toys).
“Clear up now, boys! –
No order, no ice cream!
Tidy up the scene.”
