think ? highgate road bench ? 05.03.17




i don't no how to address

my attentions are to be kind

2 ladys no more no less

opposite the fire station you will find.

rain or shine

cold even boiling

sitting on the bench has no decline

the whether has no spoiling.

always very friendly

a gentle greeting

asking for spare change tenderly

this addiction is fueled by no cheating.

to the off license suppler

more tins to dampen the psychosis

the livers must be dyer

in the post is cirrhosis.

do a whole shift

i grind to make my bread

going home just empty tins to lift

a repeat tomoz is no dread.

i see what others blank

to the village i am going to double date

into the gate house as i am thirsty hank

thinking how others feel is what i want you to contemplate.
