Mac aka
The Raincoat Man

hung out at Paddy Power or Corals

those that thought he was odd
didn't know the odds

those that had odds theories
followed him like a Profit

online algos blocked him
but the high street had
an open door

for the savant
as
fresh
as
Supersavers shampoo

blowing leaves

cold hands writer fatigue edit tomorrow
scratches head in the breeze
it's autumn, leaves are at ease
hand in hand a warmth to please

swans and bouys

pair of swans pass distantly on a trail
legs and tails move slowly
sun sets over hills nearby
our time goes by silently

boy's wars

playfight one eye has a scar of plastic
sticky plaster from a jar
didn't listen like they ought ‘a
parents wish for a daughter

waiting, two babies beaming crossed off days
mother's kiss another fling
the stuffed bear is air soaring
to the sound of stereo mawing

Old welsh form. Has a distinct harmony when written in Welsh

bungie cord win lose win against the wind
elastic fibres as one a plastic fasci resisting

this is good and Jehovah gave us the rubber

well perhaps a scientist synthesised it but

belief is a fact
not
facts support belief

one anything
only has strength
fighting against
the wind
