WOMBLES IN HUMAN FORM

from wikipedia.org


ever since i was a child
i'd
hear 
the blue flatbed truck
drive
in
morning frost
thats scraped up like snowballs
by
school kids feet

an anorak arm would toll a bell 
out
a
wound down window

like for the dead

but
for
rags and bones
and
coughed-out white goods

i
used
to
think
they lived in that van
or
were
Wombles 
in human form



from www.telegraph.co.uk
