hanging on a fence

 hanging on a fence


we lined the snails up across the road

and then we hung upside down on the railings

waiting seemed to be a part of childhood 

which and whatever way it was viewed 

it was also a slow game of chance

the future in the entrails of a snail

still horribly wet behind all these years

a rush of blood to the head

turning a smile into a grimace 


devil take the hindmost ran at dusk

for something was rising there

over the hill
