Things As They Are
Gherkin looks funny from London Bridge
By the needle or whatever that is
Saw a monument that looked like a monument
Saw a crane the size of a crane, thought:
“things today seem like they really are -
but you never know when you’re kidding yourself,
do’ya?”
Saw an “abandoned” (that’s the word they use) umbrella
In ribbons & blues
Saw a girl in the distance I thought was a bag
Blow across the road and
Then blow back
Breeze passed ‘n
Gave me a twirl
She was pretty,
Black,
Plastic Bag.
