while earrings twinkle
the earth turns inexorably
east
in all the cafés along Eastbourne front
eating happens with clak but no
echo
economics doesn’t explain it
all said Eda* but I didn’t understand her then or now
despite my education
despite the educational behaviourism
I teach in schools of tomorrow’s children creating
life as treacled as an Edward Hopper
look what happened to Ginsberg’s eggs!
the journey from Eglinton Hill
to the Eiffel Tower took ten years
by elastic band and is still incomplete
because the electric was not current,
but elipse, and no one factored that in
well, just look at the elm which
grows into the ground and
only in Eltham is the emergence apparent
and Emma Peel with a face like a plate
in permanent employment modelling different styles of emptiness
but stuck and empty herself within that very decade
I don’t know: the endeavour should never be
the engine because where would you get off
for the Enlightenment?
ennui the constant air of Eternity
drifting across landscape of Europe despite
scar and plenty
the evaluation has still not been made
no matter how late into evening you wait
the evidence will always peel and flake
the exchange will already look to the next
the existence will writhe on the Utah beaches
to tailor expectation like Emperor’s New Clothes
experience is common but not the denominator
exploitation works best when dressed as expression
with only a wisp of anxiety betrayed by an eyebrow
just look deep into anyone’s eyes
*Eda was someone I fell soppily in fatuation with during the first year of university, but I was so naïve I didn’t know what it was and didn’t know what to do with it; I still don’t now
