Fascist Haircut

 

I’m trying to kiss you 

with your new fascist haircut

something resists   

you don’t want to go on about it

say it’s not a signal 

shouldn’t think too much about it

brutalist architecture 

references 

sides with an inferno

on top of it 

those fascists had style

it’s very aerodynamic 

think they’d smile 

if they saw how things finish

wouldn’t want you shot 

over questions of appearances

everything’s a symbol 

in the breakdown of languages

I like the way your mind works, like a stone dropped into a pool, and the ripples circling outward. You ride the water. Or something like that. IMO, the final two lines are outstanding.

Nicely put together Robert , with a grim humour - a sort of antedote to romance. Could actually work in reality if both felt the same! Actually the last two lines do offer a widening of viewpoint.
