WHILE SPAIN PLAYED SAUDI ARABIA

to a 1992 ten pence coin
i say heads i recover my health

& i toss it 

& its heads

& i say heads i will become monied

& i toss it

& its heads

& i say heads there is a god

& i toss it

& its heads

well i love its optimism 

& asking nothing of it
i toss it again
& its tails 

as if in confirmation contrast

of all the heads before

COVID WALK SKETCHES

WALK 1

saw the white moon coin
pre-ordered in the blue pm

saw boozers pop art litter

& 

the steel giraffe cranes

saw an old black dog

limping his exercise 

back home

journalists
baton-shot
on
the
youtube screen

WALK 2

saw

a

child

plump face fruit cheeked

eat sweets after school

by a brown brick wall

he was alone with fructose

his
bag
a

terrible

weight

i carbo-load & crash
wallowing 
in the 
oils spills
stream drift
