PO QUEUE

post office queue 10 AM
posting a package to the USA
and
my problems turn to confetti
cos
the
guy in front of me
has a scar
on the back of his head
big 
and
round
as a dinner plate

what stories they cut out there  . . .

this guy
well
he is old and young
stressed as cracked leather
a
face like a WWI trench shot
TREMBLING
and
FIDGETING
in
unclean charity shop unchic
URGENTLY
sending a small package somewhere
for
68p
