\nlooking out of
\nour bedroom window
\nat the car park
\nin the distance,
\nwondering
\nhow long
\nyou will be.<\/p>\n
\nwe drop
\nyour Action Man
\nout of
\nthe window,
\nthe one we\u2019ve tied
\na carrier bag to
\nas a poor,
\nmakeshift parachute.<\/p>\n
\nenough for him
\nto glide
\nlike we want
\nhim to;
\ninstead, he plunges
\nto the ground
\nwith a thud<\/p>\n
\ntime.<\/p>\n
