THE FRANTIC ADDING MACHINE

Simon Armitage

The frantic adding machine
   of a wasps’ nest
     in the eaves,

its fizzing pregnancy, thrilling
   to lay an ear
     to the plasterboard wall,

let its raving fusion
   blur with the mind.
     The waspman cometh

in T-shirt and shorts,
   pumps white dust
     under a roof tile

through an extendable wand.
   Insecticide clings to fine hairs
     on the legs and wings; panicked,

they ferry the powder
   deeper and deeper
     into the chambers and halls,

through cloisters
   and vaulted naves,
     all the way to the throne.

The collapsing sound
   and sinking heat
     of a city-state

as it empties and falls. On fire,
   an ambulance rolls to a halt
     on a soft verge;

the last Trojan child
   totters in wooden clogs
     through cobbled streets...

He takes the dead nests
   into schools; kids squeal
     at the monster’s skull

and the mausoleum
   of opened brain,
     poke crayons and felt pens

in the vacant tombs. I fit
   the quelled attic
     back on my head.
