The Past Tense - Liam the Younger

I will go I am going I went

The past tense

From the wall

To the window

And saw the

Wilting ginger plant

All green and yellow

Not rotting

Opposite blossoming

Like our love

And sentiments inverted

To sterve in wanhope and distresse

Farwel my life my lust my gladnesse

Some jokes aren't funny

But must be told

Some songs aren't sad

But sound just so just so

Some acts are colonial fantasies

But drape the flag of nature

Bah humbug

Here I am

The present tense

Paint chips dot the crevices

Spring cleaning

Open the window

The sound of your

Mouth and nose asleep

And again my budding love

My watering eyes
