love

you have awoken with glasses
a small animal on your belly
a barrier a field of pain has grown
between you and your neighbours
you stopped with the strimmer
half the garden haircut
and just looked just looked
over the fence and the clouds
somewhere far off dogs dogs
an aeroplane a breeze nothing/
everything in a clamour

heard about some disgusted guy saw a rat
on his birdtable
got him a plan put rat poison
in the birdseed
laid it out there on the table at dusk
