Scenario 4 A Black Scene Poem by Marie Bliss

Around about now your next novelty
will have fallen flat.
You'll be staring into your own face again
and seeing an artist
broken and ruined by life
surrounded by mediocracy
and wanna be's
All Strangers
You'll take refuge amongst the rubble
claiming that you're a Francis Bacon
Perverse master of a black universe
where no-one cares....nor wants to
A rare jewel in a rubbish heap
that accidentally fell out
of an addicts life
and rolled into the public's eye
amidst great applause and gasps of horror
astoundingly creative and seductive all at once
yet swilling anti clockwise
from the bottom of a bottle.
