Wobbly times number 166

“I know we're not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don't know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don't care that we don't.” 
― Dylan Thomas

D'EUX MES EN PAD

As we stand here

in our bondage

making  small talk

at the party

a festival of monogamous families

shining faces cover anguish

temptation

desire

our secrets

Our private property is at the same time

for some time

 our mortgage

a promissory note 

based in near life terms worth of

our sold labour time

As we dance here

musically free

discussing philosophy

making love

living our time

the way we want to

the landlord  inspection

will happen

Landlords are like the irremediable  tragedy

of death
