DREAM CAREER

DREAM
CAREER
Mark Redford

                  so
there I was
naked except
for my pants
in the room

had to make it
round the room
I figured to go
right round
the room
do it properly

started off fine
became more
and more difficult
pants caught
on something
maybe the door

but I pushed on
turned the
support post at
far end of the room
pants were getting
tighter and tighter

but I can push on
stretched thinner
and thinner
but I am strong
going to cut

and then
I suddenly realised
how ridiculous
the room
the journey
my nakedness
my pants –

would
my pants
slice off
my legs –

               so
I stopped
and woke up
