but
there were loads
of people hobbling
about on crutches
today

some of the
people on crutches
were together, they
looked like junkies
and were arguing
with each other

later
one of that group,
without crutches,
was being thrown out
of whsmith. maybe
he will get his
crutches later
tonight

a day on crutches
slipping
limping
one way to get
through the
recession
i guess
