Thick and twisted

 


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
