Cufflink

I speak into my cufflink
like I am mic'ed up
and if I say 'North Korea'
it will be nuked.
I just need to say 'Mugabe'
and moments later there will be breaking news
from Zimbabwe.

I live on the 14th floor
and lean out of my window
looking at people in the street,
joysticking them left and right.

I sometimes watch weathergirls
and will them to make a mistake,
once I concentrated so hard that Sian Lloyd
her arm sweeping majestically
from the Lake District to Dumfries
completely lost track of her words.
