squeeze it out  (  a  p o e m  )

…

sinking ships

kiss me quick

bananas

lemon pips


falling bricks

clutch at twigs

crack willow

trousers split


dodgy hips

sheepish dips

we are all

fugitives


buckets kick

fog is thick

magic spells

that's the trick


parrot sick

oil is slick

all is horned

thanks old nick


clocks tock-tick

bookworms flick

no time for

posh picnics


choppy sticks

candlewicks

fading fast

make a wish


shake a fist

take a risk

squeeze it out

each last bit

...
