If you saw a blind man
and a woman on a scooter loaded
like a pack ox
tripping down through Mayfield
that was us
I don’t know he said later if
what is in this cupboard
is good food
or just a heap of crap
I had not had that thought occupied
with how my legs while driving could straddle
our shifting load I
read out
from the panels
all the things inside
and we agreed it was a good day
and they were
good folk
and we imagined planned the run
next week hoped there would be more
Yah Kerri - love this! It works so well ... that image of the blind man and the woman on the scooter loaded like a pack ox tripping through Mayfield really hooked me in. Fabulous poem :))
