might matter
After the sale what didn't sell
was all superstition, all theory
we got stuck in it and learned a lesson
pour sand in a hole it is still a hole
try it again and it might matter.
Drive through the rich man's gully
each inch aristocratic
every step an antique
tell them they got there on a fluke
try it again and again and it might matter.
Been all summer in the basement
will you move or not
will you bed or breakfast me
will you refuse my big yes
try it again and it will matter more.
Sparrows and gulls in competition
for leftovers at the harbour
you're looking for bread, me fries
the meat is always tough or fat
chew it again and it might matter.
Need at the crafts store, the beach
at the haberdasher, at the frontier
an implement in the mind to cut
green from silver to give them both
another try.
