Spy Wednesday

 


Spy Wednesday

Judas wears a three-piece suit
cut like post-Tin Machine Bowie
and curates her socials:

shares a poster for a gig,
a time-lapse of her signing,
some positive quotes;

but says nothing to antagonize 
The Guardian. After all, 
she has work to promote,

and it took so much
to get them on-side.
No sense in risking that now. 

There’s no profit
in broadcasting virtue.
In posting a pink and blue flag.

Solidarity lived in the old world.
They don’t give out prizes for that.
Play this right and she might win the Orwell:

Why risk that by rocking the boat?
So she chases two Nexium with Chivas Regal
and worries the knot at her throat.
