Subject: Interrogation

I was hauled up in front of the German Government offices for an incident that happened (I was not involved) and as I sat there I was made to write my explanations on this a4 sheet they presented me with, along with my date of Birth details but you know what? I could not be arsed so I just used their paper and pen and as they "interrogated" me I jotted down this piece...it was the 2nd poem I ever wrote....nothing like writing under pressure eh? Well my Philosophy is "Why Drive a comfortable BMW when you can always ride a rusty bike"




I shall never be used
nor will I surrender to their needs and unkind abuse
I refuse to lose
Government worker
suspicious curious lurcher
I wonder what rock you crawled from out under

keeping myself at a distance
still as night in my cool resistance
trying hard to protect my emotions from him without repugnant
as I watch him slide back in his chair
caressing his pen making himself utterly important

he is crude
remotely rude
but he is not that good

he fires tricky questions at me in that fat Christmas Sweater
swiping the cloth against his brow now getting wetter
prickly and untidy hairs sprout out
of his Motherly ironed shirt
trying desparately to get me to dig up some kind of fabricated dirt

he towers over his desk at me in those flannels and his mountainous heaving chest (but I remain cool)
for as long as I am around
heŽll remain strictly second best
