Men Falling into Debt

Mark Russell




About war, they say, there is nothing new to increase the quality of the housing stock. It is as common to massage one’s figures, as it is to massage one’s inner thigh. It is the rise in spending on food and healthcare, and by equal turns, the reduction in the infant mortality rate, that may obscure the level of discontent from the inspectors. A man active in local affairs may be delighted to include the Alderman and his wife as his close friends, or be raiding the church charity box late at night. Two men active in local affairs may prefer directing to acting in the amateur dramatic society pantomime, or persistently request the emails of their colleagues through the Freedom of Information Act to mount claims for unfair dismissal and compensation on the grounds of bullying and intimidation within the workplace.




Mark Russell’s publications include Spearmint & Rescue (Pindrop), Shopping for Punks (Hesterglock), (the book of moose) (Kattywompus), and ا (the book of seals) (Red Ceilings). Poems have appeared in various journals, including Stand, Shearsman, Prelude, Atticus Review, The Manchester Review, and elsewhere
