One strange thing that happened recently:
Dad's put speakers in the kitchen, connected to the TV.
I went to make a cup of tea,
A traumatised voice begged me not to
I read Alice Oswald's Falling Awake
Before falling asleep, and dreamt
How she might read it:
Thought you might like it.
I haven't booked train tickets to come and visit you,
I've been expending all my energy
Opposing Dad's speakers in notes
And writing protest poems.
I loaded up the browser just now
I went to buy them
A cup of tea
Begged me not to
