comes up

on the sat nav

& i go on straight

damn thing wants

to do a u turn

take me back again

i turn it off to

travel like pyrates

paper map with creases

20+ years past

no way do i want

to go past her place

unless there’s a guarantee

of weeds in the yard

rusty car on blocks

strong hints of decay

smashed windows

held up in cardboard

not that i’m bitter

just that i’d like her

to be doing less well

than this pyrate

driving circles in hell
