An administrative error resulted in them sending  crates full of unsold
Princess Diana commerative funeral plates to the victims of the flood.

They were not happy,
and when they dried off,
angry letters were written.

Pavement where
an egg shell should not be

that perfect shape
fractured with spider leg cracks

across the surface
of its world.

How did they get there?
those Nazca Lines?

And the amount of discarded shoes seems to be multiplying each day,

the busted boot on the traffic island
its been there for weeks

a plimsoul
childs shoe

strangely,
they're all left footed
is there significance in this?

I look for patterns in everyday things,

TV Schedules
wallpaper

colouring books
Sudoku squares

floor tiles
Tube maps

football scores

I keep looking for clues
like a retired detective who just can't let go.

Cigarette butts
piling up
outside the building.

Pistachio nut shells
look like empty ammo cases
amongst the nicotine detritus.

On paving slabs
next to the kerb
where diving bombing pigeons,

fly away
with cigarettes in their beaks,
still smoking.

The birds
blow smoke rings and fly
from view

and you think you can hear
coughing so you look up
to see.

Use your vote wisely

The clouds sat in the air
like empty speech bubbles
from a well thumbed comic book

were the author hid clues which pointed to something big

much bigger and incomprehensible, it's...
well , it's best not to think about it
really

so go put the kettle on
and have a cup of tea.

The clouds opened and when it rained,
it rained commas,
and everything seemed to stop
or at least slow down,
just for a while.

And anyway
it was the animals that sensed it first,
P's cat tore up a sofa
while R's dog looked for cover

a parrot stammered
squeaked and swore while

a dog attacked a postman
who dropped elastic bands
that just bounced off the floor.
