Oil Music

call it a love song.

i’ll get the bathtub ready.

i’m in. we in ceramic.

let’s say black. i’m bp

you’re shell. we all in.

we in the black. we both in

a barrel. call it a village.

we both in the pumping. the people

no get no nothing. no crabs in the river.

no periwinkles to pick. no day

de pas where they no dey cry

suffer dis kind suffer like dis. we no care

for them. i just want you to seep.

blacken my lot.

After George Orwell

middle of the day when the van came under the supervision of a pig

braying quick they’re taking him the animals broke off

there a large van

lettering on its side a man in a low-crowned

bowler hat sitting on the driver’s

seat the animals crowded round the van good-bye

they chorused good-bye fools do you not see what is written

that van he read do you not understand what that means the van

began to gather speed

and at this moment he heard the uproar his face his nose

appeared at the window at the back of the van the van gathering speed

drawing away there was

the sound drumming of hoofs inside the van

the sound drumming grew fainter died away
