Keep buggering on
Was Churchill’s ‘sage advice’
I’m told we’ve suffered much worse
Meanwhile
There are still cigarette butts
Outside the front door of my flat
A menstrual pad
Smeared with blood
Drifts around there
Like tumbleweed
In the Mojave Desert
And I’m buggered if
I’m going to do anything about it
