a neighbour's garden
among the dog shit

woken early
drilling, hammering.
the people next door getting new windows
while the pervading damp
settles around the house
a miasma
in sodium-vapour lights.
Outside, a child screams
unwilling to go to school
when the gates are still locked.
His daddy shouts at him.
He has to go to work
and mummy's fucking useless.
Dude. Drop him here.
He can watch telly
or play video games
with an old transwoman.
No.
Better to just shout at him
than risk humanity.
