Just sayin', Seldom payin'. Always weighin'

down from the top, and the rest is gravity, the jay & the americans

the crow & the irish

but did o'b know gerry adams had been turned away

at the gate. what did he know and when did he know it

and do the irish care

after all marvell had them admiring the lash in the grip of the killer cromwell

the black jade of the crowblue musselshell

green anyway never seemed the colour of the ancestors more a purplish blue

as of a deep bruise trod

upon over centuries, as though it were
a convenient road
