Truth Post Truth

It wasn't me says Shaggy
it wasn't me
and so this generally inoffensive
purveyor of frothy
island vibes
(HMV's words not, mine)
(not that HMV had to work
hard with its labelling to 
sell Shaggy)
set the scene for what
had to come
which is not even
lies that will save
the skin
more lies as
raw power
like straight men
in sequins
1975-77
gouging their
noses out
with coke spoons
lies that send the good
boomers wandering
into the tear gas
with a water bottle
for rinsing out the
truth
*it wasn't me*
the fuck it wasn't
allow us to 
calmly unspool
it all for you.
