1. I SAW -
i see
the strange ducklings
from my stool
at
the
cafe
counter
they follow invisible trails
in the silent 10 AM
its a world of routine
mugs of tea all round
tin of broken biscuits
from the market stall
some blinkered browsing
in the library thrillers
and
god knows what
in
their
carrier
bags
walking in a line
like baby ducks
in
order
of
descending
social
ability
or so it looks to me
and
always home for the soaps
2. I THOUGHT -
thinking
h
m
m
m
with coffee / concentrating
a
a
a
h
!
and
euuuurgh ! then . . .
3. I WROTE -
strange ducklings
shuffle
their
baggage souls
in
the
pound shop crevices
of
the
pale jobless spaces
zipped up in anoraks
bobbled trousers
pulled
too
high
out
in
the
weekday daytime light
theyre cautious animals
all gone to ground
by
dusk
