still dark
moon, waxing gibbous
rise and shine

lady in a pink puffa jacket
parking her red car
outside her house.
backwards and forwards
forwards and backwards
over and over and over.
Then she gets out and checks her distance
between tyres and kerb
and starts the whole process again.
I laud her
a modern-day Sisiphus
and clap as she locks up and leaves,
touching each tyre in turn.
