soggy footprints
on the hardwood floor
paws, shoes and PAWS

after the flood
a Chesterfield man fins his mum
face down, floating in her living room.
He blames the emergency services
who were unable to check on her
(because of the flooding)
but no-one points a finger
at the multi-billion pound profit water company
who don't maintain the rivers and sewers,
allowing them to block up
until there's a problem.
