Bell
I press the ordinary anonymous bell
there is no 'ding dong' nor a buzzer
nor even a friendly chime
instead a saxophone riff sounds within.
I can't resist a second press

close shave
a man in a chunky cream cardigan
steps back in alarm
the bus cuts a little too close as it turns the corner

porrrige
the air in the kitchen is so cold this morning
that
the steam swirls thickly as the porrige boils
and I can hardly see if it is done

rain again
from underneath the rain cloud
I watch the tiny patch of blue sky
and sunshine moving tantalisingly closer
Made to measure
I walked up the path thinking it was going to be too small
but the letter box takes the packet so exactly
it could have been made to measure

magpie
a magpie cackles at me from the guttering
complaining about the blustering wind
More contradiction
baked bean panini

contradiction in terms
we went to a noodle bar in Bury St Edmonds

daughters (again)
ahead of me up the street
sisters
black tights, short skirts, sparkly boots
and a confident swagger

damp
I keep thinking the rain is stopping
but it turns out I am mistaken

no ticks
tock, tock, tock
under the trees large drips of water land on the hood of my waterproof

baby says no
I want to read The Sneetches
but the Babe is adamant,
pushing the book away
and closing it when I try

a bit breezy
even as a grown up it is fun
to be able to lean in to the wind

crunch
the empty shells of beech nuts carpet the pavement
and crunch under my feet
I wonder where all the nuts went
