Urban sprawl

.

Monolithic crane

stoops over ant workers;

new development.

Sunday morning

 

I’m up with the larks

or should I say with the barks?

dog needs letting out.

Sorting

 

Four piles in the house

keep, sell, donate and dispose;

what weekends are for.

Saying

 

‘There’s enough blue sky

to make a pair of sailor’s

trousers’, gran would say.

Seventeenth coffee

 

I exaggerate

although decaffeinated

doesn’t really count.

Lunch

 

Tinged with a little

sadness that my toastie’s gone;

it was delicious.

Pogues on the bus

 

Gritty urban folk

reminder of student days

of pubs, bars and clubs.

Modern diaspora

 

Work space reduction

and remote technology…

W.F.H.

*WFH = Work from home.

Morning drag

 

Lethargic students

trudge their way to lecture halls

nursing excesses.

Optimist

 

Ingenuity

it’s a human condition

we can fix the world;

in the hands of young people

a balance can be restored.
