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.
