MRS WOO
We went to the fish and chip shop
me
and her
I ordered two fish and chips
Mrs Woo
asked if we wanted salt and vinegar
I said vinegar for me
and she said
only salt for her
I told Mrs Woo
we could not be more different
She just looked at me
confused
the way a lot of people do
THE LAUGHING MAN
I see a man
bent slightly forward
hands in face
as if he is putting on a mask
He sobs
the only way
a man who wears boots and cream shorts can
screams with misery
then he takes his hands from his face
he starts to laugh
and his face changes
then he looks at me
and laughs even louder
