Soap and Soup, by Andy Hebb

20/9/2024

The difference between soap and soup
Is significant in the bath.
And also in the restaurant:
They thought I was having a laugh
When I asked for a bowl to be filled to the brim,
Said I didn't mind the odd bubble.
My embarrassment hidden when I paid the bill
And left a champion tip for their trouble.

Tired worker hearts are protesting the global
because for them poor bastards
this world order of ours looms
exceedingly murky and ominous.

The game has been rigged
from the early get-go
no great surprise
that much we all knew
but now
a new kind of fix seems to be in.

Time lapse cameras capture
heavenly maelstroms, starlight
streaking night skies like raindrops
falling in phosphorescent stripes
that flash as brightly as fireflies
piercing clouds, setting them aglow;
dewdrops on tree branches reflect
brilliant electrical discharges
before they flicker like faerie wings
losing their dragonfly luster, spreading
enchanted dust, surfing on airstreams
that mingle then blend with evening mists
shake off a cosmic mantle, fade behind
hills quenching its kaleidoscope glory.
