New Poetry by rob walker










insignificance

getting on at the Wayville Showgrounds
station he takes a selfie in his new
tats & tanktop sneers at the tired
toddler in the stroller quit ya
whingein ya little bastard
ya worse thn ya bruvva
& both boys shrink
even smaller

Margaret Thatcher

“There’s no such thing as Society!”
she exclaimed with icy rapture.
but Society refused to die
and there’s no such thing as Thatcher.
