take your eyes elsewhere if my dark bothers you
wear this skin well wear it with pride at least today
all that colour gone from skin an epitaph to the grey and departed
eating ice cream is an act of rebellion
have you come to enslave us all this autumn night ice-cream man?
the overzealous bell-ringing of the ice cream man this autumn night
cautious hands cast into the overcast sky
shadows at the bus stop sharing life’s burden
three more beetles to attain nirvana
