Sweet potato, dolce road

Bear right and stay in the rightest lane,

Someone’s signposted 

to a town,

And another’s 

cocooning in a concrete glen.


Rooted, rained, rinsed and skinned,

A tamed cat scats a la COCINA.

Confetti! 

Pull open that door and strip and paw.


What would you expect? 

Dipped lights, dimmed lamps,

Chopped into lines and landed on flames,

In a melting fusing theatre room. 

Sound, a sound, an urgent call, 

Want some chips for tonight?


Aye, those sweet potato ones, please.
