THE KIPPLE KONTROVERSY 2



man

thin

smoker

clothes uninspired

arrives across the street
4 pm or 5 pm 

or midnight

stops his old estate car outside his ma's bungalow
handbrake a witches shriek
kipple squashed tight up against dirty car windows
like drunks packed
into Tokyo trains
in the fifth rush hour of the day

office chairs

bicycles

bin liners of old clothes and old toys

he plunders pockets
he explores creases

he segregates
like 
some 
awful 
cold burglary 
like 
soft eugenics

choice pickings disappear behind bungalow doors
most is packed into more bin liners
and piled
five
high
by the bonnet of the broken-down Transit
wedged in the depths of the drive

he 
does 
this 
everyday
4 pm or 5 pm

or 
midnight

kipple coming home
i think

kipple
coming
home
