Little toes

Little toes – too much weight.

A five-year-old’s feet

ten years younger / a century older

than the waist-up wrestler,

the armchair dancer

little feet won’t support.

All aboard the wheelchair! The whirled chair!

All aboard the world chair! Small world. Small world.

Little toes – almost the right shape –

driftwood / abstract-petite.

‘A real work of art’ – little big-sister –

my hair-pulling grabster,

my sandwich snatcher,

my thief of too good report.

All aboard the wheelchair! The whirled chair!

All aboard the world chair! Small world. Small world.

All aboard the wheelchair! The whirled chair!

All aboard the world chair! Small world. Small world.
