You lay down
and let them walk all over you
Smiled
Stayed pleasant
You were conned
and now you've lost everything
Well done
Have a nice day

Front offside tyre has a slow puncture
pressure drops, car wobbles
rusty bolts in the suspension shake loose
exhaust pipe and differential scrape the road
steering goes wonky
I clip trees, bash off a loose wing mirror
can't see who's alongside
Uncertainty, on a downhill section
burns out the overused brakes

Morning
7:00
Those two zeros
remind me of spectacles –
a cartoon character
Beano, 1956
I'm 7
on the edge
of my chair
