littering the ground

memorising phrases
that were seventies dialogue
for use in a novel.
Were we really that racist
in everyday language?
I cringe at the TV shows
that celebrated the casual
dismissal of immigrants.
The first people in Britain
were black, apparantly,
so where does that leave the fascists
who control everything.
My neighbour is from Handsworth.
He doesn't want to go back.
