Supermarket time
My oldywed and I
will shop in the
aisles of silly
We'll arrive
Don our masks
A middle-aged Bonnie & Clyde
sniggering beneath the lifesavers
Just two big kids
That time had forgotten
had forgotten time.
Spent nine months dreaming on my back. Opened up new horizons, if only horizontal.
Woke up disabled, with a Blue Badge and bed hair.
Walk with a limp and a stick.
Cue the double entendré and the stick.
Saving money on shoes.
Spending it on thoughts.
Overdrawn at the creative bank.
Loan facility disabled.
The irony!
Stronger through weakness.
Weaker through slogans.
New journeys to be taken.
Pop along.
I'm off my back.
I'm back.
