Et Cetera [r] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Bone-dry words, colourless, odourless,
soundless, emotionless, formless, with
only terminological, technical meaning;
no connotation, denotation, - or rhythm
interfering, black and while mechanical
clacking, clack, clack, clack …

‘The Commission shall present a report
to European Parliament in recognition of
authorisation, application with provision of
division of community, criteria for approval
of substances, safeners, synergists while
the great impact thereof on diversification

And competitiveness, human health -
et cetera' … clack, clack, clack …
