finally burning conifer stumps

Fountain
I would have given a bad review
a solar-powered fountain
In England.
In March.
Where the rain came down in sheets
and the only time you saw the sun
was watching Lucifer
live from Florida.
I persevered, though,
and come late April
we had an early summer
and the fountain worked.
A moral to this tiny tale
if I'm permitted to make a point
is that teenage neighbours
are fucking loud in the garden.*
