answers on a lamppost  (  a  p o e m  f o r  s c u m d a y  )

…

yawn the dawn of raincoats

drizzle drops & grey ghosts

sunken in its slumber

curtains draped & burnt toast


tread the earth as clouds float

every town & outpost

stumble on the umber

hum the strum of footnotes


chase the tales of tailcoats

misty gist & misquotes

jumbles in the blunder

mumbles in the utmost


stroll the roll of goal posts

silver suns & gold coasts

winters in the summer

wankers in the banknotes


ease the wheeze of steamboats

weasel cheese & speedboats

wobbles in the wonders

warbles in the sore throats


sing a song of foremost

bubble burst & almost

scan the land for numbers

answers on a lamppost
