We live on borrowed time
In a borrowed place, breathe
Borrowed air, and drink
Metered water as sparingly
As we can without dehydrating.
The walls are covered in the
Spores, visible and invisible,
Of a mould that might kill
Us if we breathe in too hard.
This is a cardboard world,
And soon it will be as sodden
As the will we have to carry
On living like this.
The garden barn at
the end of the estate was
their love paradise

Garden of Joy - still from 'Lady Chatterley's Lover
don’t mean to grovel
but to better this hovel
grab a damn shovel
*Heart's Home*
Be it hovel or mansion
Or back-support stanchion,
May this little poem
Find you safely at home.
Mortgage or rent
Or forest-glade tent,
Wherever time's spent
To you this rhyme's sent.
