h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

For my fiftieth I want wire cutters
I'll flee blank-faced London crowds
cut through constraining fences
paddle in forbidden streams.

I want a heavy hammer
to flatten my vacuum cleaner
I'll leave cast off clothes, outdated papers
To copulate in haphazard heaps.

I want sharp scissors
to rip strips from my sensible skirts
hoist them as rebllious flags
proclaim myself a free woman.

Thank you for posting this. It isn't really the right place for it - and it is unlikely to be found and commented on because of that. The best thing to do is to write it up as an entry (click on the "Add Guide Entry" button on your personal space) and then submit it to the Alternative Writing Workshop.
