Downsizing

Who is amused?

there's primordial ivy clinging  on my brickwork

and an incident of blank verse at my poetry club,

possible unemployment rearing its head for moi.

Before my downsizing commences,

I've  been busy buying more CD's

but that's my contre jour

befittingly everybody else is into  iTunes,

I can only listen to myself,

even if music be the devils tune

I'll  soon be home for more,

burning fossil fuels willingly

of Mesohippus's and other three toes.
