5th November 2018

misty morning
the scent of gunpowder
on the quiet air

cowering dogs
as fireworks go off
around the neighbourhood.
Why is this still legal?
Controlled explosions
should be the prerogative
of the armed forces
not any kid on the street
and yes,
I was just as bad in my youth
weighted bangers
and glider rockets
Home made cannons
almost killing my dad.
