walking the doggie
in green cordoroy
down to the pond
yes lets annoy
the ducks all mooching at the edge
where bushy bluebell and sweet sedge
feel the wildness
in the air
cordoroy trousers
doesn’t care
her dogs are all she thinks about
the ducks
their fears
their trepidation
and what becomes of their salvation
she doesn’t care
no not at all
she’s forgotten what
she learned at school.
