NOT DANIEL CRAIG

so a guy comes 
to mend our inkjet 
and 
he 
looks like daniel craig 
or 
would 
if daniel craig 
had 
had 
a heart attack as a young man 
and 
a 
stroke 

he's in a three piece 
with 
cufflinks - for an NHS IT job!
and 
his 
collar is all scruffy 
and big 
and un-ironed 
and tatty 70s looking 

he 
puts 
his 
leather laptop bag down 
and 
he 
squats down to rummage 
in 
tray number two 

its a plastic universe in there 
and 
it 
hurts 
my 
head - the detail! 

it scream clunks like a ancient ruined Bentley 

these teeth 
he says 
these teeth wont engage 
and he digs in there with scissors 
they're facing the wrong way 
he says 

he is absorbed in the tiny detail of the world
that
i
wish
was as smooth
a mill pond water

so 
i 
focus on his cufflinks - so much detail crams the world! 

his cufflinks are simple silver squares 
so 
simple 
simple 
simple

simple smooth silver squares
