Aimless meets Fungus
 
I’ve lived on different streets.
They are foreign to me. I walk
past buses I could have taken
just because.
 
I go West then North and know
that at some point I’ll arrive. I
know I can get anywhere
from here. My mind tips
 
from one city to another.
It’s the same city. I’ve moved.
I live with a rocker-youth I hope
will move out before I do.
 
The room had black mould I
hadn’t noticed when I said
‘I’ll take it’ and that one new
coat of emulsion is not enough
 
to stop Fungus punching his way
through in stoic announcement. I feel
it blistering in various corners; I don’t
know how many I am sharing with.
