night walk
two girls singing from an open window
should keep their day jobs

there's an old adage
that pride comes before a fall
and I've been proud of myself lately,
for cutting down and disposing of
a thirty year old conifer hedge;
twelve feet tall and trunks
as thick as my thighs.
So now I'm worried about the fall:
metaphorical or literal?
and will I survive it intact
when the government is systematically
dismantling the NHS?
