The goal

Saturday, April 7th, 2012

The goal scored, to where shall I run?
Confused chicken looks for approval.

The Travelodge Manager

Saturday, April 7th, 2012

Sits outside on the step,
fag in hand,
talking about “her staff”,
watching the clock,
32 rooms of boredom,
licensed garage,
roadside existence,
traffic thunders by,
local girl with a smoker’s face.

The 80s Disco

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Tired bodies,
ravaged by 20 years of kids and progress,
time thickened legs, bloated rear end,
handbags danced still around
sucked in stomachs
no longer cool an option,
later, cocoa, an appropriate end,
background hiss filled ears, sleep.
