For Dan

Let each poem
Be a celebration
Of life be it a moment
Of truth or continued
Uncertainty

As with the Saturday
Arrival of a package
From Putney
What the fuck?
My younger son exclaimed

And after opening it up
Holy Shit he further said
It’s a letter from Natalie
That says my application
Is complete and look here
It’s a plastic cow she sent me

Am I in or not?
Stop sending me
Rubber cows please
No more kitsch
I want the rest of my life
To begin already
