NEIGHBOUR POP 2

old men out
doing the  

8 AM 
shuffle 

collecting another 
tabloid teacup storm

they lean on gate posts

& natter like the birds

nothing to do with me

~

zipped up

in hemmed beige
&

invisible in 

autumns superior riot

they call anyone 

with a spanish tan

a visiting indian

not in front of me

~

shadows of alpha
self righteous
in the shade

sixty years of shitwork
under pu leather
supermarket belts

nothing to do with me

THREE POPS

HUGS

a
hug

a solid human hold

is
the
best
essential
medicine
in these touch screen
days

science agrees

late as usual

and
im
like
duh


DAYS

days are long

so long

birds
are
black flicks of a nib
against
a
grey nothing sky



RUG

the glass people
are tanned
with evened white teeth

they climb out the sitcom
with
their
vivid lives

and gasp for air
on
the flat reality
of
a
hardwearing rug
