Click hereSo many things lying about
useless for want of refills
all different from one another
all perpetually forgotten.
Item: one beautiful pen

--dry and will write
no poems in the short term.
Vases missing flowers
toys missing children
Item: one record player lacking a needle
and hundreds of records with
unsounded grooves
candelabra with nothing to ensconce
ashtrays lacking butts
Item: various objects for
odourising the house
sadly sans smells
A china heart with no keepsake
books devoid of pressed flowers
Item: a clock purchased as a present on
Christmas Steps in Bristol
bereft of a battery
Dozens of flowerpots with no earth
leaves with no trees attached
Item: one wine-rack but no bottles
for the privy purse
is tight
A dustsucker with no bags
a cat with nothing to scratch
Item: a toilet-roll holder embossed
"Massive Toilet Requisites"
tied up with tape and
empty of meaning.
