TOY HEROINE


she’s 
cartoon sweet/half from somewhere else
like a toy
like a childrens book of big pictures and vibrant colours
some small heroine
in soft antique garden green gloves

want to pop her on a cake baked to scale
dressed in bows 
and her pink evening wig/listen to her accent
dance out  
two dimensional homespun advice

drunk and drinking on the back seat of the granny buses 
compulsively tidying the puzzles on her coffee table 
my cynical ears and decelerator mind 
open on a monday night
know her strange school analogies 
have
never
applied
to 
me
