the visits were a thing back then
no observing the window display
were the rules
of course we did
yet I saw nothing
of any offence
he placed a board on the arms
of the seat for us smaller folk
and cut it short
we had no choice
the barber pole outside
to advertise
sometimes the fringe
was trimmed at home
eyes shut
mine not hers
the sound cut through
the bits spit out
it has taken years to realise
taken a lockdown
no intervention
i will make bread today
plant the seed
maybe read the meter
unless I do it on monday
