Grabbeda
Cheese string n half tub
Pringles, salt n vinegar,
Too long to say
And

The
Bad Old Days
Like
B4
Too long

To say
Before
Draw straws for who’ll hold shoulder
Firmly
Kiss
Surely
On mouth

U k?
U sure?

Take cash from
Till

Too long to say
Until

Order pizza from man who
Dreams of making it

Cormorant appears again
Must learn to dry my wings in the sun
Stand top jarrolds building
Stand top Elsing flatly

Forever’s been ages

Dad spots us

We’re
Soppy boys
Big girls
Blouses
For
Ever’s been

Taking
Ages
Troppo

Velcro clothes
Strip joint
Lighters up
Big broads

Old dyke

Hai Reggiano
Ur right
I do love the fields
And the sun at dusk
How it leaves
Well
Alone
Hello moon
Hello not quite
Hello nearly

I write poems thinking
Yeah
Could do
Might do
Maybe

Should do
Aught to
Lazy

Shaving my head again but after rosh hashanah
Like a new moon.
