The nice ladies behind
the counter
in Boots
gave me one
£5, No. 7 voucher
'Good for your complexion,' they said.
'Life,' I said, 'is complex enough already.'

Anytime is fine
for wreckage
and then you'll go
but that's OK
I'll piss someone off
Break stuff
Delete a stack of work
Saw into myself

We congregate like atoms
but never touch

Croatia

Something careless about our past
tracks in the mud
obscured, overgrown, disinherited

Maybe it's beneath our dignity –
like there's a league table
no one's told me about

Maybe I ought to go visit –
find the man who moved to England
a hundred, or two, years ago
