Arse Bow or tits? or stern? Razzle Dazzle Am I coming or going starboard to port? Or port to starboard?
Am I One OR MOREMOREMORE?
Wherever I cause a come on I go waves but is it or a cold shoulder?
Am I FAST? Or retiring? Are you bedazzled? Confused?
Is my zig my zag? My flim my flam?
Razzle Dazzle
Unreliable gal A tart with the changeable weather of the heart Is that me or the sea? Invisible in plain sight Hocus pocus Camoufleur
I’m flamming my flim. Zagging my zig.
Razzle Dazzle
But don’t you prefer it to Haze Grey?
This poem appears in the anthology 'Signal' (published by the Edinburgh Arts Festival, 2016) to celebrate the anniversary of the World War 1 'Dazzle'camoflaged ships painted in Leith Docks after the loss of life during the Battle of Jutland. Stephanie Green
