call of the wild

what’s that, she called out….

nothing, she said….

I hear it, she called….

it’s nothing, she soothed….

the banging the howling and rattling,  she cried….

now’t but the wind, she assured, just the angels playing….

It’s in the news, so it’s official: we’re all going to die tonight. Some of us will rise to heaven and rejoice and the rest will be condemned forever.

The Queen is bound to go straight up, she looked so pretty in her Irish Green.

The dead girl at the bottom of the cliff will miss it all.

Obama won’t go unless his wife does and he’s sorted out the Middle East.

and

Stephen Lawrence will not get a look in.

I hear the whales, she called….

it’s nothing, she soothed…

They are chanting, she fretted…

now’t but the wind, she whispered to her, just angels…the wind...

It begins at six tonight the news went on, the end for us and it won’t be bad for all, it will happen from West to East, all the wrong way round but there you are, it‘s been announced.

Richard Branson will go up in a balloon.

Bob Dylan gets to take his guitar as he’s 70 now and he will play as he goes.

and

Tracey Emin will go up in her bed.

I see the albatross above the waves …

it’s fine, she said…

the wind is blowing it off course…

now’t but the angels playing…

No need to take things with you said the man on the screen and the news is always right. Everything we need is there for us on the other side where we are going, so no need to worry for a moment and we’ll get to meet the  all the others that have gone before already. Just not Hitler or Kaiser Bill nor Idi Amin, Pol Pot will have to stay, all evil doers and no cheats will come and also not the devil, so for those who have any worries there is just this message, do not and I repeat, you are not to worry, all will be revealed in it’s own good time at 6 pm.

I see the eagle soar she cried…

it’s nothing, she said…

I hear it call, it’s calling me…

now’t  but the wind, she cooed, just angels calling…

I hear the whales, she called…

it’s nothing she soothed…

I hear the wind, she sighed, I am flying she thought...

it’s now’t, 

was the answer,

now’t but the angels

playing...

...in the wind…
