YESTERDAY STACK


at deep blue midnight 
or when its time to stretch out in the dark
and 
the day is done again it is not over

yesterdays stack up like magazine back issues
selectively dog eared but unfinished

like
piles
of amazing encyclopaedias of facts
hard spines crushed and faded illegible 

don't matter where you leave them no council will take them away

like
a to z's of dense cities glimpsed blurred over a drunk weekend
and 
journals of global idiocy recorded by sacked eyes

yesterdays are the frozen leftovers in tight tubs
conscience
forbids binning

at grey yellow dawn
or when the alarm yells bells all the yesterdays flood in
and
they're lugged and dragged and touched and chewed all the day
in
bags
heavy 
misunderstood and waiting
for 
unachievable and complete sense
