DANCING:

The lady up the alley said,
“I strongly advise you against stroking stray animals & bats”,
I told her that wasn’t going to be a problem

THREE WISE MEN:

She said,
I wasn’t to make me better,
But to stop me getting worse

(K)

KEEPS THE FRESHNESS:

Today I went down an alley,
And met a lady,
Who stuck needles in me

ROBERT MOTHERWELL:

A Blue man wears a bitter face,
Comes home with the bacon,
As a sleek truck passes,
Yellow,
Getting dirty

(K)

DARK ENDS:

A Purple woman exits the alley where the cardboard thief lives,
Clutching a coffee,
Wrapped in cardboard,
For a kickstart thrill,
With a plastic lid,
A temporary tool on it’s way to landfill

(K)

WONDERWOMAN:

Two tiny people dance,
Oblivious to the grimaces on the faces around them,
A bell rings,
Announcing the entrance of a tower on legs,
Lurching down the street of Zebras

(K)

A HISTORY OF NAMES ON WALLS:

The cardboard thief drags booty into alleys,
Dressed in a life jacket,
Silent Mother,
Silent Father,
Push baby dressed in stars,
Into a bitter wind
