CHILD MIND


1.

laying on the carpet in night quiet
i
hear the news

its a dry adult rattle 

i
find
out
about
murderers / watch bedroom window at night
in
case
one
comes
in


2.

pa told me of the boy who cried wolf

i didnt get it

i expected one to prowl in the back gate
on
an
empty anxious saturday morning 
and
i worried how best to be believed ?


3.

sparse info grew large
over
my
carpet world of trouser cuffs / sandal buckles / skirting boards
and
the underside of things


world 
of 
eternal yellow Lego smiles 
without 
fear
