Yawn and Stretch

Yawn and Stretch

yawn and stretch--
pigeons and seagulls
outside your bedroom window

a fry-up for breakfast
purple bubble bath

the crumbs of a sandwich
smoke from burn toast
in the hallway

walking to the park
to play on the swings

"Wash your hands
and set the table!"
oh my grumbling stomach

Emmerdale and Corrie
playing on my X Box

dozy children
wobble up the stairs
your toothbrush moves like ants

the darkness thickens
ghosts and zombies whisper
