SnapShot

Robyn Young 1985 (MA)

Blank verse
Bap boom smack
Staring glaring scrolling fast
Where is my chance
To be happy
At a glance
Internal tug of war
Never me
Never more
Open windows
Crushed doors
Past
Black
White
Grey matter
Searching hard
Next disaster
No chance
Wise master
Fragmented torture
Puzzle pieces
