(‘I can’t go on….. I’ll go on.’ Samuel Beckett)

We lie in crazy poses
Above the muddied waters
Sweet Thames swirling
Superman…. Falling man…
And she, hair spread on glass
Waving, not drowning
Joy defying her Oedipal fate;
Drug infused veins fighting the shadows
Thrilling above the bascule jaws
Smoothly inviting the crowded ship to pass
Seawards
Sing sweetly while I live…. I live
