On Monday his business
became public knowledge
and also bankrupt
he smoked in the dark kitchen
surrounded by sawed off
trolley parts

On Tuesday
A For Sale Sign
was hammered into
the well clipped lawn
he ate a frozen meal
while he cut wire

On Wednesday
His car was repossessed
he chewed his nails
over the bus timetable
and measures of fertilizer

On Thursday
He still had not received
his tax return
He exploded
and went to the office
to get it sorted

A tale that I'm sure would resonate with lots of people at the moment - there but for the grace of God, etc. Beautifully observed and written with such a delicate touch.

Your words are like a scalpel - swift, sure, sharp. It's just that they don't leave a nasty scar. Thanks for that one!
