Opening For Going Through

If one is not true to

and fails to realise

one's expressive possibilities

one is liable to be sued by oneself

for misrepresentation.

Nice Old Lady

Nice old lady with your leg done round -

elastic bandage holding sound -

regular rhythm of the train wheel's feet -

spectacle-case tap-tap quite neat.

Posture pleasing, eyes outside

noticing trees in breeze beside,

quietly changing head around

brown fur hat is mole's earth mound.

Wonder where blind mole is now?

Does he know of human's row?

Click clack rush roar - train speeds on,

nice old lady on your sit-upon

swaying gently, never flustered

little lace hankie, fingers clustered

tap little beat out - forefinger key

sensing smooth skin, not like me!

I'm always searching, never finding

your knowledge nodding, never minding.

I'm driving on to the train's roar beat,

you'll tap your years out - comfy seat.

 

Here we go then - through our eye,

I'll take the whippy hedge, you take the sky.

 

Little lace foot tap - gone quite pleasently,

I'll run to catch up - get there presently.
