LAODED & IMPLAUSIBLE





we swallowed
the
pills
he
took
from
a
strangers purse

& when dawn came
it flashed me
like a subway perv 

& i found myself  
loaded & implausible

on the rubber slabs & bark chips
of a stark playground scene

cackling at the primary colours
of all the swings & slides

& at the browns 
the browns
of the logs
of the climbing frame wood

THE QUIET TENNIS BALL & THE DERELICT SWINGS





see how quietly
the tennis ball sits

in the fringe
of the lawn
this morning

~

a tier of sadness
arrives 
on the car park air
as you swing wide the door

& another 
washes over you
from the derelict swings

like layers of silt
home now & settling in

GARDEN REPORT BLAND VICTORY




& over the back fence
is a deep & wild un-mowed lawn
grown up around the swings & toys

i am reminded of apocalypse films

it looks like jaywick sands

~

our cats in there
hes looking up at me
his eyes say -

you got nothing better than this


only your food
i say
only your food 

it is a bland victory
