Ubiquitous

It’s tote-bag art-print T-shirt-worthy now
re-done by Family Guy, Riff Raff and Magenta, The Simpsons and myself

in a similar dress I wore the day we buried mum
with my tie-less ex covering his crap teeth with his top lip

while I gazed out to sea instead

I thought he looked like Robin, my old boss, and she resembled Caz from cross the road, and that’s ok, the fitting in of people that you know,

replacing faces that we’d raise an eyebrow to if down the shops, and say

Hello. Like seeing someone famous in the street and greeting them then feeling stupid later. Not much chance that that would happen with these two. Paintings very rarely come to life.
