hearing the incidental theme of a movie
where the protagonist is the perp.
Someone’s fucking alarm on snooze,
the someone who lows with ecstasy
on Saturday mornings probably.
The giddy 08:00 tap dance staircase
of lawyers and MEP assistants
crashing the cracked frost glass
wrought iron front door so stroppily,
is balm to me.
Voices cable-knit
on the stairs, purling laughter.
Disclaimer: these are not my stairs. I have stair envy.
2nd day running, I've loved the last line....this conjures up great images...and the photo is perfect !
ReplyDeletehaha maybe I should just stick all my last lines together :o)

No, s/he needs to be carefully observed in case s/he goes walkabout again.
DeleteExcellent stuff - I agree with Janice, the last line is a 'pearler'.
