The Sound of Realisation
i have been taken by surprise
tackled to the ground
pushed down life’s hill
got caught in British Bulldog
taken over by something I feel
found my horse and then my cart
and fashioned all four wheels
i have been rumbled
my emotions completely changed
the dice have really tumbled
and rolled to reveal my name
i am now readily fumbled
and I feel like an insurance claim
i have been taken by surprise
i have found her darling sweet make up
and the sunlight to my eyes
the tide that turned in the Estuary mud
the sound of realisation
as it hits the ground with a heavy thud
the complete claim
of the most personal touch
James Garratt – Tuesday 7th October 2008
