the hand still offers the flat-palm grass
to the nervous pony behind the wire
the eyes still shine with delight
at tinned pears and tinned milk on sunday
the voice can clearly be heard - and the phrasing -
when I find myself saying what I swore I never would
...........
my son asks if he allowed to say 'pissing it down'
I tell him I'll allow persisting
we are both soaked
I am frozen from mid thigh to knee cap
by the run off from my coat
but we soon dry
my son asks if he is allowed to say 'fuck'
only when standing on lego I say
......
