French toast is not a skull upon the fire,
Wipe up the blood, check Watson's brought his gun,
This file contains a photo of a nun,
The spider weaves her dream of Warwickshire.

Five empty bottles silently conspire
Against me, but I'm hid beneath the sun.
Lord Byron's testimony has been done.
The fairies bide their time behind the wire.

I'm scattering the ashes of the day
And rolling up my liver in the bin,
A spell against insane utility.
Keep meaning and the builders far away;
A secret ink to expiate all sin
And hang unspoken papers on the tree.

I fancy a day off from doing these So let's keep it brief. Warm sunny day. Builders next door hammering away. Breakfast. Walked into town to Sainsbury's: More gin, rump steak, salad stuff, cheese. A few people on the streets; mostly they Kept their distance. Still, I'd say The lockdown is creaking. Days like these It's hard to resist the pleasures of outdoors. Staying in like me (watching Murder, She Wrote ) Seems the greater crime; the forecast's cold After today, so everyone ignores The wagging fingers. Days when the overcoat Is cast aside, like the vulnerable and the old.

Between various meals I stare At the TV without interest. Let today be done. Sweep it away. Pointless guff. The hour has run. Nothing to say. Enough, enough.
