ELECTION O CLOCK

a feeling 
of dread
a suspicion 
of wasted time
my belly 
tensed waiting
for the
sucker punch

thats how i go vote
headache in my bag

i only want 
my economic unit
to play a funkier 
more compassionate 
marching tune

but for a while i will hold time here
hold 
today
like
a
baby
bird

feel its staccato heart

and savour the possible taste
of
possibility

FISH SUPPER

in the Great Universe Scheme
the
poor baby bird
was
almost a nothing

i rescued off him off the cat anyway
there 
was
red - insides showing outside

in the quiet at the end of the garden
i
did
him
the
best as i could - mortal sweat breaking on ME
HIS nerve twitching
was
a
horroshow

sorry little bird . . .

now
i
burnt my fish supper too
