barking dog
racing down the garden
last apples

the guy in front of me
at the supermarket checkout
is having a Big Night In.
A jar of instant curry,
two minute rice and a home-bake nan,
a bottle of gin, two of tonic
and two four-packs of Stella.
There must be boxing on the telly
or maybe a sportsball match,
but either way, thirty quid at the till
is cheaper than the pub.
