Fog and Veg
Fog and Veg
There’s fog inside my house
There’s fog inside my head
I cannot see my apple or banana
Am I dead?
There’s fog inside my bedroom
There’s fog inside my eye
What’s happened to my peas, my avocado?
Will I die?
There’s fog inside the radio
And fog inside my toast
Where are my tangerine and my asparagus –
I’m a ghost?
There’s fog along the seaside
There’s fog inside the tree –
Without my mango, celery and damson,
R.I.P.
There’s fog inside the forecast
There’s fog inside the fog
Without my nine or more a day, I’m like a
Large dead dog
Who brought this fog upon us
With its threat of fresh infection?
No veg! It must be party types preparing
An election
