as is the way with adults
as is the way with adults
i think i'd asked her
ninety-nine times
while she weeded the annual bed
but why
do we
live here?
and had i received
a satisfactory
answer?
regarding
the skinhead hills
the firebreak partings
but now he's gone ahead
to the new job
and found us a house to rent
she's packing up
we're moving out
we have to trap the cat
Mr Kitts
called after
the Mayor
and put in a cage
in the truck
but first
with knowing pats
she prised apart
his jaws
and poked a tablet down his gullet
to make him
sedate
and for us
because of
car sickness drama
mine crushed
in a
teaspoon of
honey
i will never
live
in The Hutt
Valley
again
no
not for love
nor money
