LEMON DRIZZLE AVENUE

In Lemon Drizzle Avenue
a Philharmonic dust cloud
sweeps the scale
to a fine diminuendo.

The characters,
diminished chords,
are tense, dark, and unstable.
On Lemon drizzle Avenue

The Reckless violins
with loose pegs and strings,
pluck their way pizzicato
down Lemon Drizzle boulevard.
Lemon Drizzle boulevard…

Here the piccolo,
a half-size flute
made of wood, glass and ivory,
has its airs and graces.
in the fairy dell delicatessen
of lemon
drizzle
avenue…

All the world’s a dust cloud
of philharmonic
lemon drizzle
love juice…
