.106.

sometimes i have to check my numbers

sometimes they run out of corn all together
and offer me peas

not the same james
a different colour

i like yellow

i place the bone
where the mouse once was
the other bodies are boxed now

murky this morning and possibly cool
outside

with promise of a social occasion possible
unless there are more gigantic congregations

with no worth other than to scatter their litter

they will come with fire here on the bridge
where he spent the day scraping tenfold

maybe gave up
i have not heard him since
told me he had obsessions
i tend to agree

excitement here over the boxes
due here soon, parcel force

do you remember my love
this is a new project

anyway
that is the way i get stuff now
no travelling
no stores
no hassle
only the joy of expectation james
&
i guess you understand that

watching the seeds grow
looking for flowers
& little animals
admiring the cows now
on the hill silhouetted

got that ok the second time around james
some things take several if not many attempts

then i drew the coat again
