Green T shirt

Blue Nike nylon shorts

Shuffling trainers

Laces barely knotted moves along the street

The straw grey threads of hair spread out

From under the baseball cap

Sauntering and dragging

the arched hanging frame of a body

against the low set trolley

neck bent

head slightly stooped

against the staggered scowl that passes for a smile

indistinct in the backdrop

of human life buzzing

in frenzied too’ing and fro’ing

there’s no bodice body fitted tight and hugging curves

no six-pack facial hair

or definition of this forlorn

and scattered soul

the personification of life from Mars or maybe Venus

another stage of devolution

indifferent to all other forms of human existence

assumptions made

and assumptions found by day and by night

about what the eyes see

and the brain declares as intervention

sexless and without form

nothing for a single thought

to cling to

no port to dock in a storm

nothing to distinguish

any gender class or race

homeless or boarded with a cat

no one knows 

not easily categorised or attached

just another who seemingly doesn’t fit the mould

in this hierarchical preconceived

piece of little Earth

sectioned partitioned and labelled

by address, name and date of birth

married single, divorced or misplaced

assumed sexless because no known history

of relationship children or copulation exists

this person who is without age sex

and does not conform

to any known peg fitting hole

this person who is blank

of expression needs and demands nothing

except to eat sleep and dress

gives absolutely nothing away
