DETATCHED



OVER   DRAWN   UNBUTTONED   OVERCOAT
SOCKS  THAT   DO  NOT   KNOW   EACH  OTHER
STRANGE   BEDFELLOWS
UN LACED   LEATHER   SHOES

WELL  WORN   HEELS
LIKE   A   SINKING  SHIP  ABANDONED  AT
 THE   ALTER

THE   BORROWED   WELLINGTONS
NO   LONGER   RESIDE  BY   MY   FEET
NO  COMFORT   IN   A   TIGHT  FITTING   SPACE

I  WALK   ALONG   THE   DESERTED   ESPLANADE
THE  COLD   RESTING   ON   MY   BREATH

NEVER   KNOWING   WHAT   WAS   FOR   DINNER
