No Use You Asking Me

It's no use you asking me
coz I don't know
At the time
there was nobody
taking notes
It wasn't a movie
– no screenwriter
– no director
but I can tell
you wish you'd been there
– and I wish you'd been there
   too

A Weekend with my Father

I had a pet
a cat
18 years

One day
she turned
looked

I never saw her again

A totally pointless hall table
small, round
covered with pink, lace-trimmed cotton
It's the first thing you see
when you go through the front door
What sort of welcome is that?
I will not visit ever again
