the words weren’t mine

it’s mammalian nature but who says
call it human               savaging prosecco
as his champagne largesse rained on the just
half dozen not nursing first flush something
Laszlo improvised in opposition
as ex nihilo fructing got harder
as time fled                  Grace found herself frustrated
there was nobody with the wherewithal
transcribing                     this is the man’s life’s work’s prime
and it’s been going on for a year or
more definitely more and we’re content
to laugh and lap it up and listen out
for how it might go gloriously pop
with your perfunctions the only record
