There’s a hungry concrete-muncher
eating up the motorway one row of houses down
Don’t tell the council, or, the cone stackers in their reflective vests,
that the freshly painted white road markings are all pointing
in the wrong direction
and I’ve had a gutsfull
Trees leer over the fence
listening for snippets of wiser recollections from their youth
Cabbage trees stick their heads up
And pretend they don’t notice any Saturday morning sex in the back garden
The moon slowly gets changed behind the clouds.
makes up her face for tonight.
Still laughing at our attempts to shoot her out of the sky with our Chinese-made Roman candles
and other weapons of mass-produced faulty construction.
