(3)1. Garden Cloche
I was despised. Despised and rejected,
sunk in mud. Now I am resurrected.
I am of use again. Inverted. Undignified.
Wheels waving in the air, yet I
protect your veggies and your flowers.
Use is all I crave

Who knows what strange, mutated beings
are evolving in this stream.
Changes beyond the wit of God or Gaia.
Unknown starting point.
Unpredictable result.
No-one knows how this one will turn out.

Licks off a coat of chrome and flows on,
Unconcerned.

Let’s run down this hill together, you against me.
Let’s see whose wheels are swifter.
Let's see whose ride is smoother.
The wind will play its music on our wires,
and what’s at the bottom?

27 The Scapegoat
Back at the end
of the furthest point
of the endless line
of waiting for usefulness
is the Discarded One.
The first to show a rust.
The first to wobble a wheel.
The sins of the herd are loaded into its basket.
This one is cursed.

26 Trolley herders
You can see them miles away,
shooing columns of discards round the ‘mac.
Who can drive the biggest herd?
Who can round up all the strays?
This one has the most,
this one was the quickest round the track.
But this one gets points for agility.

There was a time, and not so long ago,
when the vast expanse of glass above
shielded us from the rain but did not
filter out the sun.
Now it is pocked with bird shit
and the sun has stained its purity, but
it does still keep us dry.

24 Wobbly Wheel
This was a feat of engineering.
Everything aligned.
Lines perfectly welded.
Chrome perfectly polished.
Handle perfectly clean and sterile.
But imperfection found a hole
through which to crawl.
One wheel slightly out of line.
That’s all it took.

Birds are the enemy. We watch them

We are not made for perching and our shine

We have made room
for the counting tool.
It is our nature to be useful
and we saw how some of you
struggle with the adding up
so we gave you a pocket
for your adding-up machine.
It wasn’t much to give,

21 The Lost Aisles
There are aisles, down which I make my way
of which I have no memory or recollection.
One day there, the next an alien display
of products for enhancing your complexion.
Even the guides are lost,
and the trolleys register their objection.

12 Rivalry with baskets 1
It is not for me to criticise,
but what’s the point of living large
but thinking small. I would despise
those small imitations of my grandeur
but, frankly, they are too small to notice.

I sometimes see, above their settled ranks,
contentment rising like an easy steam.
It may not be much, it says, for which much thanks
but it’s what we are for and everything we dream.

10 Infinite Variety
Life presents us with a palette of banality;
Mighty wheels to carry loads mightily,
specialists in toting thin materials,
grown-up carriers and sulky adolescents,
baby baskets with red flags.
We distain hand-baskets, 'cept for the elderly.

Trolleys in sunshine;
happy glistening. In rain
they huddle and sulk.
