Bingo – Written April 2009 (Aged 34)

Bingo

i am not a lottery win
or first prize
the winning bingo line
the happy meal with extra fries
i am not your map
for the happiest destination
i am not the way back
from your chronic situation
the destination,
that life somehow,
failed to provide
i am not the safety system
there so you never collide
i am not the private school
or the old school tie
i am not a lottery win
or your first prize




James Garratt – April 2009
