Ampleforth’s Lament

Downspreadingchestnuttree
where I selled you
and you selled me
I sit ginredded penning words of unjoy,
crimethink speeding throughmind,
the sexcrimethink of a oneful boy.
Oh, doubleplusgood Julia!
I see your paining facecriminal eyes
and cry canalwise
with you, for you
and for our malordered land,
Airstrip One! At whose command
were you goodsexraped newthinkknifed
ownliferobbed artsemstuffed?
Come, Julia, run prolefistspeedwise
with me doubleplusdistancewise
into our minds,
into joy.
