Oyster card winks the gate open
Flat fish, sea and sky blue – so far from the ocean

Bi-Polar

Whirling like a dervish,
A wheel pinned to a fence
But straining. Lavish
Sparks explode towards freedom. Tensed
With effort fit to burst,
A brain will blow a gasket
Aiming for the stars. Worse
Than wacky, just a basket –
Case. The needles jab and flatten.
One spark stutters, dies. Left
Over ashes, dried out case. Batten
On drugs, all senses bereft.
Heavy with silent screams
Curtain falls, no more dreams.
