Much better than I can
He has a house by the sea
Breathing coastline air

In his garden chair
I can...

WHERE ONCE WAS GREENIs this progress we make
as we play game that’s fake?
Green space that once spread far
we turn to urban scar.
Bulldozers scrape away

shy cobweb gloss
in a frosted dew
he stood as shrubs

Our roads are just unbearable
What future for these...
