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.*
