 I, in Lady Bingham's Orchard,
 on a bench, sat thinking forward

 After Orwell (Sonnet)
 
 Duty to offend : in a land
 of non-stop lying, unable
 to come clean with itself, smothered
 in media deception fog,
 protecting the bankrupting left,
 ideologically dead
 and unable to grasp the need
 for a total re-structuring.
 I, minded of the Sicily
 told everything has to change
 for things to remain quite strange.
 The State is unaffordable
 with far too many left dreary,
 handed money to be mazy.

 MI6 Treason (Sonnet)
 
 I have had a light-bulb moment :
 there is a Russian cell therein.
 Agent Cranleigh bastard boasted
 of an intro for an MD
 to Frederick Forsyth, MI
 6 ; and much did I wonder why.
 They wanted to ensure I would
 never enter the GDR,
 as BAOR, for Jena
 and Carl Zeiss : anti-Stalin.
 ( I read his obituary,
 that is of Frederick Forsyth ).
 He looked a bit like Jack Hawkins
 as did, drunk, the man from Cranleigh.
 
 The writer of this now C in MI9.
 Nb post-War, Zeiss did the splits
 between east (Jena) and Z West..
 
 Coda : The CZ Puzzle (1982+)
 
 After my adventures abroad
 in East Germany, I was not
 ( unlike others, once overheard )
 debriefed by 6, invisible.
 Why ? Ten years later, anecdote
 held some CZJ were double
 agents, maybe : a debrief might
 put them at risk, from a Red Cell.
 At a CZ Lunch in Barnet
 for our countertrade victory
 fierce innuendo had me write
 as a poet : this, unwanted.
 Who had told them ? Stasi Oxford
 or an agent, at Marlborough ?
 Twenty years on, a 6 postcard
 writ Leipzig told me my Stasi
 Files were embargoed, until
 the death of Margaret Thatcher.
 
 Publishing Footnote (2001)
 
 At a loud Caliban In Prague
 Party, a Brit. 6 officer
 told me that they still did not know
 who had put Thatcher up to it.
 I rounded on him : said I knew.
 ( They did not know of her Banker ).
 Performed at The British Council
 reading, my keen opening text
 Fanfare a hymning the Stasi
 slyly ; the little man, major
 man. ( They gave me no trouble ).
 That postcard, hinting liaison.
 Was there a triple-take linking
 of some MI6 with Stasi ?

 Period Jokes (1982) A Sonnet
 
 At CZJ, in Borehamwood
 they, I was told, celebrated
 the birthdays of Hitler, Stalin
 but to remain on the safe side.
 Proud of The Battle of Jutland,
 which the Zeiss Range-Finder nearly
 won, with good vision in the dark
 and better when it was smoky.
 Later, core to the Tiger tank
 for one kill-shot at a Sherman.
 At Leipzig, lost in a Trade Hall,
 I told all hated the Russians.
 ( Wolfgang would ask : how did England,
 so inefficient, win a war ? ).

 Tunnel Terror (1982) A Sonnet
 cf Sunken Garden (Line art CT 1997)
 
 Savouring being the other
 side of The Wall again, my blood
 would run cold at the memory
 of being underground, my train
 screeching then grinding to a halt.
 The tube tunnel wall seemed a foot
 away, dark-glistening dimly.
 I was, trapped, near Hitler's Bunker.
 Eventually, the train moved on.
 Alighting at my destiny
 station, nobody else got off.
 The tunnel roof there was cream, gashed
 by shell blasting, plaster hanging
 down in shreds. I climbed many stairs.
 
 Mr. Walrus (Sonnet)
 
 As if in a Piranesi
 print, up many levels, higher
 I emerged before a stained booth
 with dirty perspex, in Berlin
 to utter the pass words ordered
 by Zeiss, Elstree Way, Borehamwood :
 I have come to see Frau Tannert
 who, I learned, was Gruppenleiter
 Import, to a sad, sallow man
 who, blotchy, looked like a walrus.
 He may have studied my Visa.
 Did he say Ja ? There were no guards
 anywhere. I walked corridor.
 
 Nb then, naming was Berlin, West Berlin.

 Gaining Gertraud (A Sonnet)
 of Intrac Berlin (East)
 
 At our meeting in a ruined
 Schloss, with dark heavy furniture
 I managed to tell Frau Tannert
 a favoured novel was Effi
 Breist, by Fontane, so redolent
 of a ruined Prussia long gone.
 She said : we both have a problem
 with Ronald Reagan, and Star Wars.
 Gertraud had a desk assistant ;
 Carl Zeiss Jena was presiding,
 with their countertrade manager,
 wily, as meeting translator
 over from Hertfordshire, England.
 He would sell East German product.

 At Lady Bingham's (J14)
 
 The young girl adoring flowers
 in a white chemise, with breast pert
 and a latent, but keen beauty
 looks all hope for June again
 and they will keep on coming, young.
 As I look, shutter my folder,
 though Venus she is not, older
 she withers at futility,
 Iran arming military.
 There will always be a future
 along with redeeming nature.
 After war, singular beauty :
 I really must end the story.
 Yet again, short of a couplet :
 Israel jets hit their target.
