PANIC BROTH SIMMERS



bungalows abandoned extensions
point skeletal in the naked morning
under cracked blue tarpaulin
swinging heavy in light wind

~

& nerves are jangled
behind the ok façade
of the van man parade

& a panic broth simmers
below the dog walkers
habit natter & chit-chat

~

i can smell it
&
it smells like

what the opposite would be

of the smell of
fresh cut grass

NEIGHBOUR POP






no 3 off for a swim early

be back by 9
when he pops 
up the shop 
for another
Sun again 

sportswear & flat cap on

eye out for a natter
ears shut for the same

our very own bob hoskins


but

more docklands piss
than east end vinegar

HYPHENS



nurses 
natter-chat 
under 
bleach-jobs

king-size 
fag smoke 
blown-breathed 
out 
into 
dry spring wind
blends invisible 
with
ambulance exhaust 
and 
sun-faded paint

fluorescent yellow 
just a paled hint

one is selling 
her 200-a-month BMW  
as
her boy-friend 
rarely runs 
his 
mercedes A-class 
anymore

other is selling
an old clio sport
but its shot 
she 
says
shot-to-shit and buggery
