Static in traffic
my attention is drawn to
a bush filled with birds
more sparrows than I can count
clustered in a tiny space.

Love
The Beatles said that
the love you take is equal
to the love you make
a sentiment I favour
but wonder if it is true.

He and I
I didn’t want him
I didn’t want him at all
but now I’ve got him
we walk together always
with mut(t)ual disrespect.

Chase the money
Ideology
of self-interest and pride
divides a nation
no mention of compassion
no mention of partnership.

White noise
Impossible day
builders, noisy pets and kids
demanding my time.
It is hard to comprehend
why we do it to ourselves.
Exam results
The boy did OK
he could have done much better
I’m proud nonetheless.
The real work begins right now
hope he can apply himself.

Night pirates
In the night
they came with their swords
and stole dreams
in the night
buccaneers of my tired mind
left me with nothing.
