F Drummond
Cadmium yellow
Smeared on the only comfortable chair
Of the drawing studio
Selfish little fuckers
A fresh batch of
Crisp willow charcoal
Released by eager young fingers
Even though there is already a tonne of the stuff already opened
White bone china
Juxtaposed with moulding teabags
Because the lazy dole bludging shits
Can’t walk to the sink and wash up once in a while
The boar hair brushes
Luxurious tools of creativity
stand proudly to attention
As they have been left in a mixture of glue, household paint and polyfiller overnight
I smile
They think I’m cool
But deep down a little voice whispers
Keep it up you talentless little fuckers – you will never get a permanent contract with 7 weeks paid summer hols like me
