demolition
we have raised children
who are brutal.
I reject your ideas
and I question your motives
they bark.
after the fighting, still and quiet,
we sit
like some intelligent machine
that painstakingly constructs itself
only to discover its purpose
is self-demolition
Steve Shepherd writes poems and takes photographs. He used to make radio programmes, mostly jazz.
