early September<\/span>


and the day was breathing out the last<\/span>
of summer\u2019s unimportant failures<\/span>
and a bird dropped, suddenly, from the sky;<\/span>
it looked like the shadow of a tiny parachutist<\/span>


a man jumped on the bus and asked<\/span>
if anyone could split a twenty<\/span>
for two tens; <\/span>we\u2019re all skint<\/span>
a girl shouted into the silence;<\/span>
the laughter rippling down the bus<\/span>
sounded like paper being squashed down<\/span>
into a wastebin<\/span>
