Temporary Social Housing
It dangled like a carrot -
The rusted key
To the rusted corrugated iron shed.
They said, I'd be off my head,
Not to snap-it-up
This star blocking sponge like bed
With corrugated iron stains
And tin can rain collectors
Displayed like candle holders
On a buckled red stained floor.
Cotton trump's cardboard,
They said, with pen ink
Dangling between - accept, decline,
While my eyes adjusted
To lines where outside
Pressed against wavy iron walls.
Entitled, she called
The back of my head
Disappearing through the
corrugated door
Of a tin can shed.
