THURSDAY MARKET

Motorway sign says:
"THIS SIGN IS NOT
WORKING."

Sign coming
into town says
"THURSDAY MARKET."

Reality
appears to be
broken

and there they all are
long forgotten Thursdays
that nobody wants no more

So many
used Thursdays
to choose from

a much used
Thursday
from 1963

a forlorn
Thursday
from 1863

Thursdays
come and
gone

no one will want
a Thursday
their dog died

or the wife left them
or the Wifi
went off

rainy Thursdays
that nobody wanted even
as they were happening.

but there's a big rush on
the Thursday to come.
everyone wants to have one

We leave the Thursday market
with the next Thursday
in the bag so to speak

it's up to us
to make
a good go of it

it ticks away...Time tickles.
