we snuggle up to authority
and enjoy,
being told what to do

you can board a ship
and find me on an ocean
you can be found in my place
causing a revelatory commotion

institutions only exist
so that they can reinforce their influence
and they only exist to reinforce their power
never has it been about equality

i shot an arrow –
which pierced a dream
just as i built a rope swing
that hung from an oak beam

there is no discussion
only medieval pageantry and trumpets
on this forced succession

we have navigated –
such strange events
situations of hardship
people well meant

Years Made of Plasticine the last of me feelings managed to topple a tower so, i ran around a house … More

people are broken
one by one
like the green bottles
that hung upon the wall

i have lived with trauma now –
for some years
it happened as a child
over the stepdad years

my opinions
do not recline as well or as fast
my railway tracks
lack fresh ballast
