An Excerpt from Kubla Don

 

 

As Coleridge Did Not Say

 

 

On sacred land did Kubla Don

A tatty wrestling ring decree

Where bit-coins, his sacred lucre, ran

From taxes and seizures measureless to man

          Down to a soulless sea

So eighteen acres of historic ground

With guards and guns were barb-wired round

And there were gift shops bright with ringing tills,

Where blossomed many trinkets (not for free)

Crushing the last few bits of greenery…

 

Thank you for your attention to this matter
