thick, twisted trunks of time
compete for sweets
with timeless tweets
narrow-hipped cyclists
pedal careless confidence
in the face of well-wheeled,
broader-hipped cars
green-red hedges clipped
thick and slick
stand solid, safe and proud
you want to take a loud bite,
leave your messy mark
on the narrow-hipped site
but you can’t afford another chip
