Carts are Objects they are Little Buildings
by Andrew Taylor
It is important to heal
and to hydrate
seek scraps fallen from fruit and veg
sellers’ barrows
Straight pressed into survival
doorways home to blankets
Royal Mail Street public land
appears private
Behind the Adelphi Hotel
houses were built on wasteland
repayments are not being met
In Winter take on more hot liquid
wear layers
keep one room warm stay in it
venture out if only absolutely necessary
soup is a valid form of nutrition
