DOOM-SCROLLED OUT OF THE SANDPIT




the small school children
answer 'present' truthfully

like no adult ever could

danger warnings sellotaped
on the roaring winter radiators


~


grown-ups 
doom-scrolled
themselves
out of the sandpit

the moment is code to them
reserved for musicians
& the waiting-room sick
