Unite the thistles,
roses, shamrocks, daffodils
and leeks - blessed plot! -
a Royal Court play
'British Archipelago' -
mixed audiences.
Unity won't work;
inequality splits us -
loose warring tribes.
The flowers are useful -
garlands to cheer the place up;
leeks for some good soup.
Those breaking clouds wash
away dirt, tears, history -
new stories to write,
so much has gone on -
sad, kids hated history -
so much more to do.
Fascinating times -
a frightful, fearful future
full of fragile lives.
