Fabulous wave machine
Priti Patel’s fabulous wave machine
has done fine work tonight – tossing
thick rubber skins up-side down – &
enough to turn over silent migrants’
plans to resettle [& contribute more
than odd numbers] – A shore-line – a
shingle-drawn relentless breath – on
& on – a seventh anomaly – it is said
by those who stand & watch & count
& cry out – get back to where you’re
from – that fabulous wave machine –
a UK design for 3rd world problems
