the chinese spirit repeller
lies broken on the old splintered deck

ferverntly
we wash our cars
and are cleaned in the process

the cow grazes
between distant trees-
colourless summer grass

security camera
reveals a nasty suprise-
my bald spot

the seat remains
defiantly upright-
men's toilet

every saturday morning
the conservative couple
crank the stereo to 10

inexperience
exposed - by the way he touches
the chess pieces

garden tools
in the wine rack-
the tee-totaller

summer siesta
in the blue curtain light
and the twirling fan breeze

feeling self concious
as I walk past construction workers
pushing a pram

shining chrome
and the strong smell of new rubber-
the bicycle shop

during the quiet period-
all the workers are laughing
