FROM THE BENCHES & FENCES

i wish it was quiet
& i could not hear
the
souls
of
gone
trees
calling
from the benches & fences
we
forced

them

to be

he said
shroom shards showing
in his bruxism smile

CONFORMING CAN BE COOL

doorstep charity mugger
shakes my hand
when i tell her
all the charities 
i given a bung to
online this week
out my paupers income

well done she says well done

and i tell her
i am just conforming
to my
low income
sick-note
white writer
home-in-the-day
liberal
compassionate 
demographic
and 
i would rather have ordered myself 
a fat bag of ritalin instead
but
who
can
trust
these
websites 
these
days ?
and anyway 
who needs the anxiety and bruxism ?
