10/30

if you don't have an iphone*...
you cannot hold it up to the sky
so that it translates the mystery

of the constellations, but instead
you could learn them off by heart,
view them through iris and sharp

memory, not dependant upon
battery power just the cold night
air sucked deep into your lungs;

Ursa Major, Taurus, Andromeda,
Lupus, Sagittarius and Hydra.





*the advert irks me : )

  1. Excellent. You could do a series satirizing various adverts.

  2. Cheers Fergus. I don't let the children watch TV with adverts but I still let myself, and then get angry with them! No doubt it will inspire more poems.
