a friend is strange by  32 lines of rhymes

…

a friend is strange

as blue moonlight

or yellow door

all painted white


then tartan paint

a rusty key

hidden within

a wych elm tree


a tardy book

actual dog ears

or ball lightning

chinese new year


in mid-july

as herons strut

that phantom hand

a head with bumps


not bumpy head

some afternoons

or forks in roads

runcible spoons


those bus spotters

they shun the train

them pyramids

our reptile brain


most freak weather

or odd shaped rocks

the mystery

of missing flocks


no ewes or clues

so round the bend

go fuck knows us

that's why we're friends
