Living
Living and working and living and working.
Some othere things have to enjoy my life as well.
Living belongs to the following groups:
Graphic Scratch and Melbourne & VictoriaPillows sit asleep and quiet
Covers crunch a slight regret
Showers flow with strength and heat
Doors creaks wide open mouths
Cars breathe down their throats and cough.
Trees move in pendulum sways
Wipers blur across the glass
Trains rush in and shut the gates
Windows slide rain to gutter
Leaves balance upon the wind
Rails rush city to train.
Lights flash to each other through the haze
Building lean outwards in gray
Streets taps noises in water clogged drains
Chairs roll around, creaking mating songs.
Papers tumble through printers at play
Coffee rolls around the bottom of mugs
Sugar runs away from the spoons.
Tea-bags slump bitterly, waiting for a shower.
Fridges gasp cold air for seconds then snap shut.
Lifts climb ropes and slide down cables
Umbrellas snap open to accept any raindrops
Jackets curl themselves warmly against the wind.
Seats warm themselves with bums and bags.
Ovens eat cold food and spit the waste out in time.
TV’s sing, play and dance to entertain.
Kettles tempers boil when switch is flicked.
Cutlery clatter, fighting for position
Clothes stroll off to see the laundry
Hair winds itself into hands
Lips pull bodies into embraces
Eyes open the world to the dreams of the night.
