plein [V] — (ii)

ok
     now
big fuck off factories
     industrielle make
          the stuff to use

this poem’s of its now
     of course
one of those
    embarrassments
i’ll look back from 20 years
     if fate permits
and think
     you daft parrot

20 years
     yeah
factories will be
     things to buy
plug–in to
     your four by four
          maisonette

another poem moment
     you daft parrot
          with knobs on

’cos now
     they’re making
organs
     medicking stuff

20 years
     you daft parrot
the same technique
     or better
that’s meat
     no doubt
          with veg on top

farms
     will be
          factories
     will be
          typing pools
today

but the energy
     the energy
for all of this
     the energy
sunlight
     its consequence
          and thorium
               galore
