Hero

Living in slow motion,
complicated maths – Division. Multiplication. Equation.
Make pelicans and zebras dangerous.
Careful hero, confused
by our narration. Am I meant to be
thinking anything?
Clumsy, happy, comfortable and lost
and found. Hospitalised three months, accident?
or operation? Then
colourful and noise, surrounding, and oppressing
and distressing. Adjustments. Then fast living,
living in fast forward.
Pause.
Confidence buys a nearly new wardrobe,
now green and underwear
goes on top.
