Withdrawal (A Septet)

[billy]

A bronze rat
Squats on the table
It does nothing noteworthy
Except stay silent while I rummage
Through the crap in the drawer
For a cigarette
And a match

This, "Envy on Emeralds" and "Urbanised" are my three favourite poems by you. I love the simple imagism, the defiant lack of meaning here.
