temporary departure
not having seen enough
by any means
what can I add?
except to
say that the
derelict mental
hospital
was always
and good place for a picnic
‘Mental’ that’s
what they say
as if that
was a condemnation
there are long
hallways filled
with broken chairs
the burnt remains
of former campsites
and the birds
are used
by now
to flying in
and out the windows
will this be made
into luxury flats?
or the whole site
a business park
an enclosure
for the supposedly
real business
of the world?
I’ll be back soon
I’ve just gone off
to oil a bicycle wheel
