Stephen Brian Brady - At the Garden-Centre

the snake whiles-away his summer afternoons
tempting girls with apples at his stall

he'll take them home by sports-car
if they fall

and wistful
through the window

they're there on quiet days

just the lees of cold-black coffee
and the clattering of trays
