Scribbling Stones: Day 2
i saw them there by the sidewalk boulder playing with pebbles, grubby smiles, scruffy shorts, lace old, torn in place, hand in hand a bulwark, is it? two young lives: sidelined for life? is it enough if they have each … Continue reading

ducking the duck
i pitied the ducks their fate, forced to bear with sweat and grime and sub-standard game, a wash only in ages except noisome splashes in chlorined pool-water, cringing with me as chortles distorted their bodies into strained seams- poor spineless toys: it … Continue reading
