TINY GATEWAY:
The swimmer talks with a fast mouth,
About numbers,
And people in water,
To his rainbow wife,
Who slaps her leg habitually as she speaks,
It has nothing to do with anything,
As mashed avocado arrives,
“I lost my stride”,
She said,
Selecting silver weapons,
From a gleaming selection,
Delivered with efficiency
In a dance of Black & White

CHOICE:
I’m waiting for a train,
Bringing the light of the world,
As tattooed arms lift eggs to mouths,
No food allergies,
No intolerances
(K)
IT’S A DRAIN:
You want more than everything,
Sitting in the sun with your hat on fire,
It’s your big day,
Will you remember this feeling?
When you loose it,
The next time
(K)
CAGED AIR:
You set the alarm off last night,
I woke to the sound of laughter,
Everything is better than I thought it would be,
Two dogs in the kitchen,
The smell of bacon memories,
Holidays in caravans by the sea,
One for you and one for me
(K)
SUMMER’S HIBERNATION:
Now I’m sitting in an empty room,
It’s quiet,
And birdsong,
And sunrise,
And a Black & White picture of hairy cows,
A mist on rolling hills,
And silence
(K)
MOM & DAD:
Now I’m in a strange house,
I’ve been driving for hours,
It’s my birthday,
Hooray!
I got in late last night,
Driven through the rain in a Silver car,
By an eternally smiling man,
Who offered me water,
And temperature change,
I gave him a tip when he got me home safe,
It was a good night,
But I was falling to bits
(K)
FIFTEEN WIRES:
There is a mouth talking fast,
Making a noise that sounds like words,
If I bother to listen,
They make some kind of sense,
But I’m not interested enough,
Random words fall out of the mouth,
Like,
Gypsy,
Chocolate,
And Oh my god!
(K)
