The air of
smugness,
or was it desperation
that hung on her lips
when she
plucked
the illusion, the lie
from the clouds whistling Dixie
above her head,
when she told the audience
there had been riots in Liverpool
in the last week
only served notice
that some people in all their fantasy
worlds should never be allowed
on or in close proximity to
television.
