74

the pause button

you’ll have to imagine this

take a deep breath (if available)

very human

did you notice the others?

machines labouring uphill and splutter

yet this is within reach

close your eyes and try not to look

you wouldn’t stare into the sun

then why now?

one step further along the wire

dreamt a knocking had to be the door

dreamt I was wiping my arse

couldn’t quite

something missing

the volume down

controls sometimes hard to find

but all things go on the blink

press firmly here

come to the inklings

so many things we can live without

perhaps turn off the box

of course you could always keep going

how deep a pit would you like after all?

should we break through the sunshine

to get to the news?

when better well leave alone

an excellent time

to lengthen the novel

to give up smoking

reclaim the garden

build out the back

all these things will protect you

you can speak with anyone anywhere

might be a good time to

there are so many ways to travel

now we consider the lesser known works

so duty brings to light

lie down for a little symphony

everything needs mending

the game goes on

no one watching now

it’s sunlight falls upon us

jungle a day to rescue

go by vine and cling

all trees point up again
