SNAPSHOT POPS, SUMMER



standing
at the
corner
of the
building
BBQ afternoon S. London.

look
up
4 storeys/brick & guttering/a black cross
is a
plane
high in
the grey summer haze.

i’m side lit by the sun around the corner.

i’m
drunk & unstable
cheap doubles & pool
early afternoon
in the
Bloomsbury/i won 2 out of 3.

photo man laughing in 8 quid chair.

i’m blinkered
in the
unfinished garden
by shades
and 
by booze.

there
is a fence/we look thru the knots
at a plush
unused lawn
& blank
concrete
wall
begging for
improvised tags.

there is
a bike
there now
that wasn’t
there earlier/it is
white & red.

playing football
in the road
outside
with a
tiny
English football/i kick
it
tho
really
i
cannot.

i ask
for matches
& i’m
given
green cardboard
& told
THIS
IS MATCHES.

doubt reality & the names of things.

i light the BBQ/hot by the wall.

shovel
raw coals
about
with
a trowel.
