Acts of Love

Paris drew on
the thousand ships
and burned the ancient world

But I
take a coin
for the trolley

Looking for bananas
just between
green and yellow

Read the sugar content
of yoghurt
Do you really need those

Gumboots it’s still
summer
and something small for

lunchboxes PUT THOSE
CHIPS DOWN
you say you like capsicum

But you never eat it
And yes, fine, you can have
the gumboots my darling, my darling.
