Refit Needed

JOINTs stiff, I ponder what might constitute personal
REFIT, how to find a new me, not just pipe dream when
TESTY with life, but real change, to beat peering into
STEIN looking for what is never there.

Flat flatting

ULTRA crisp, clean white
SHIRT – or so I dreamt. I
AWOKE to one wet, unironed – had to
VAUNT sleeping cat, snoring dog, last night’s empties, three packs of crackers, only to find the flatmate had ‘borrowed’ the iron last week.

Fizzy

FRITZ is not a common name to
UTTER, but the one-syllable zip of it is
LIGHT to the tongue, giving an extra tingle to the
AORTA.

Mood Prison

SHIRTy, angry, up the night, late to bed,
AWOKE I late as well, frail and dull,
JAUNTy for five minutes, then guise crumples to fatigue.
ULTRA, how to be, when any mood is the lord of me?
