juu-kyuu

Something feels awry
When a wasabi pea holds
The day's greatest thrill

juu-hachi

Flourescent lights shine
Towards eyes that squint but can't
Focus on the screen

juu-nana

Champagne bubbles rise
Hope slides slowly down along
The sides of the glass

juu-roku

The birds have returned
Singing their fast, flitting songs
While I turn the soil

juu-go

Silence, white headphones
A faint smell of bakewell tarts
And vintage clothing

juu-yon

Content that's sticky
Will adhere itself sweetly
To receptive minds

juu-san

When the screen goes black
It's surprising to see
The face that stares back

juu-ni

Daffodils are nice
Yellow and proud on a desk
They smell a bit though

juu-ichi

Only one thing can
Save this excuse for a day
It's a pink dolphin

juu

When you lose at pool
Eat a few Celebrations
Just the Maltesers

kyuu

When all around you
Turns into elephant dung
Play a game of pool

hachi

A crow takes a pie,
Whole, from the balcony ledge
Then flies far away

nana

Salvation awaits
At jacksonpollock.org
Click for the rainbow

roku

I buy satsumas
A whole box for the office
Most of them are off

go

Faces mute and still
Shattered dreams carpet the floor
Silence weighs heavy

shi

Not sure what to do
Make some tea, look at YouTube
And go to the loo

san

Head turns to the left
Realise that’s the first time
Eyes have looked outside

ni

Bring some new copy
Into existence with love
Then wait for amends

ichi

Headphones in my ears
But today silence abounds
Forgot to press play
