HOSTILE MESH

its a loose weave safety net
the
sick & sad
get
tangled up in

calculated disrepair
adds

barbs
to
the hostile mesh

blow up 

what you like

is what i hear

as

long

as

'help'

DRIBBLES

thru

how to enjoy the orchards now

with all the soil has seen ?

ON A MUSTY GREY ENGLISH NOWHERE DAY, A SCHOOL MEMORY POEM

french class
single tables
no windows
language like a wall

on chair backs
ski jackets
wet with rain
& the heatings on

sat behind brett
who leans back
all the way back
so heads upside down

& he dribbled from his mouth
so it would go up his nose

then he sang
from the top ten
i remember it was
c'est la vie
