A Poverty Of Sundays

Christopher Barnes, UK

Back-slap get-togethers
Are ready to serve,
With white-pepper gravy,
Swedes approximating pus,
Pulped King Edwards
Aftertaste of powdered milk
Impacted in the course of mashing.
Runner beans
Are like runner beans,
Shape, form. And mother
Scumbling with a dishcloth,
The raised hand,
Random motives, gesturing.
