The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:42pm

20 years ago during My First Depression

I departed from The Pink Bedspread

of The Yarmouth Psychiatric Unit

to take some advantage

of an offered outing

in a hospital bus

to venture across

a high-grass board-walk

to nowhere

only to return to My Bedspread

which may well have been

Chrysanthemum Gold
