“A KINDER LIGHT” 27 March 02

on Sunday morning
the queue outside the furniture shop
the wind bites us
we inspect shelving
dream of a better cabinet
for the television
dream of a better life somewhere
but to someone else
where we are, nowhere
is that somewhere else
that dream land

like marriage:
one set of problems becomes another
neither better or worse
just a different shape
this somewhere is nowhere, everywhere, anywhere
so we queue and dream of a better place
in the suburban air
