    Today

    The boys kiss the boys
    And the girls kiss the girls
    As the race grows old.
    The horse with the brown
    And Billy won't slow down
    Whilst the beers are cold.
    The grown ups are the kids
    And the kids watch the porn
    As the swing stays still.
    Daddy drinks with friends
    And mummy takes the pill
    That makes the eggs feel ill.
    The screen lights the face
    Whilst the fingers tap the board
    And the person dies.
    The sunshine glows alone
    And the air is full of flies
    As we trade goodbyes.

    It's a sky perfect day today
    Planes are striping the blue in celebration.
    Beside the lake where the shopping trollies float
    Where the oil makes a rainbow
    And the tin cans make a moat
    I breathe in the loss,
    And feed the daily bread,
    To the ducks.

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    My park is empty. Another wonderful glimpse from your microscope.

    Love
    Feed the daily bread,
    To the ducks.
    ... quite rye; but seriously -
    feeding ducks bread can cause a serious malady
    ... but you knew that, you poet you.

    The beauty and accuracy of your descriptions leave me breathless. And wishing it was me who wrote these lines…
    A beautiful poem indeed, J.

    One of the many things I like about your writing is your observations and how you take us filtered through your thoughts, when it surprises, charms and shocks, encapsulated in "Where the oil makes a rainbow". Also love how you opens it.

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
