common

common as muck
no truck
banging doors raised
voices and
barking - the
stumble down the
stairs the
broken bottle and
spilled beer the
front door glass
booted in - what a
sin for
ignorance and
subversion the
animal conquering
intellect, ravaging
manners - the
bestial theft of
pomp and circumstance of
ceremony and
innocence
of custom and politeness -
bang the wall if you must -
common as muck
no truck
