Young man keeps a brick by the window
says one day he will break the view
red brick with dust
uses it as an ashtray
paints it with empathy
lets it collect spit
father tells him he is nothing
mothers staying warm with isolation
Can’t put human hearts in the washing machine
without breaking human skin
while battery acid eats green carpet
life with holes
denim with cuts
peace costs too much
funds can’t be collected
Chips and sausage
99p frozen special
Poverty from who’s point of view?
