TWO TREE ISLAND YEARS AGO



i chewed nicotine gum
sigh
knew it wouldnt cut it for long
and
i
lit
a
cigarette

i stood smoking on the scrabble of estuary shore
kicked stone
photo'd a bored gull
sigh

i watched RC planes buzz faint in the gym sock sky
i lit the end of a reefer
from
a
matchbox
deep
in my pocket

i found a bird watchers hide to hide in
sigh
i sat on the dried wooden bench

i sipped out a hipflask 
looking
at
the
river

it was grey and thin
a fallen and bland expanse
sigh

and i took a longer sip

i was depressed 
sigh
but
couldnt 
take
action
yet

jesus i thought instead

this island is a hole
