Description is to some extent an act of prescription.
This is just to say, it is time
to move. We've found a lovely
place at —. Love,
Mum and Dad.
P.S: You each get your own
room.
 
Selling Mattresses Since 1982
Next door: a yellow building, stranded
in its own specificity, filled with empty
beds going for half-price. Outside,
a dog barks all day at its own shadow
but won't get up.
 
Seven seconds
The first thing one notices
are the pipes – exposed and running
along the walls; later we learn
they rattle when disturbed.
 
For me, it is a moment of anguish.
To the man in the turquoise boxers, asleep
at 11.30pm on Monday, 22nd January– 
maybe I'll catch you tonight before
you close your eyes.
