GLASS WAS NEVER SO STONE

idyllic meals
judge you
in the
sideswipe glass

neon filtered
grey pubs audit
the
boarded highstreet buzz

a greenscreen luncheon
is sad supper in sweats

our 
15 mins
refracted vain glorious

in glass

that 
was
never so stone

MEMORIES AT THE FRONT DOOR

the woman in mismatched sweats
stuffs 
the
phone book 
thru the door

( so slim now
  it
  will
  stay
  forever
  in 
  its 
  plastic coat )

i recognise her from the mall
15 
or 
20
years 
ago

we sold film tie-in plastic tat
and
flat-pack bedroom units

i remember her almost divorce
and
breast cancer scare

her hangovers and her tears

but
i
stay silent behind the front door
when i could have done anything

because

i cannot think of anything
for her
to
remember 
about me
