Sitting, dumped,
a young girl,
crumpled as a tissue
at the kerb.
Teen gangs swigv a communal can,
swagger their sway
past 2 for 1 booze offers,
as two lads flail fists
during 'Happy Hour'.
Eventually the sky
will make an aperture
of the moon,
await the light of day,
develop a picture of
vomit, can-clutter,
butt-ends and burger-trays;
oh,
and this poster on a
grimy church declaring –
'HE IS COMING, HE IS COMING',
with such a certainty,
a fingernail run over
this hard cold world,
may soon be mistaken
for a vapour trail
scratching the sky...........
