the table remains
remains table

with as many words
you can drum up you
cannot persuade it
to change

Want

sometimes I feel
like that French actor
who may not be French
at all but has a right arm
that doesn’t work as well
as his left

but then I remember
my French
is wanting and I stroke
my beard
instead

fade and start over

over and again
start over and fade

Ooooh, “We” Send Troops Out Again!

we’re sending troops
to the Baltic countries
and I think of salmon
and how my nephew is brilliant
at catching them

:
Sort of Taking Stocks

you dream of horses
you say and I dream that
someone has moved into
the house I’m usually
dreaming of and now
I have to spend a few
dreams on walking about
looking for another

and perhaps it doesn’t really matter;
the house I usually dreamed of
that which continues to grow
as I enter it and begin
walking was in a sorry state
and you know me
I’m not keen on redecorating
on painting walls and woodwork
on washing old kitchen tiles
and all that

it’s easier to dream up
a new house
