\nOne of the strongest shades
\nA fierce, military green
\nIt marks the limits
\nWooden panels, concrete posts
\nOverlooked by security lighting<\/p>\n
\nA paradise of greenery
\nMaintained lovingly
\nAdorned with flowers
\nOf every description
\nOnce when he was away
\nI watered them<\/p>\n
\nAnd symmetry of it all
\nTaking care to allocate water
\nTo the hanging baskets
\nIn accordance with instructions
\nAnd to rewind the hose
\nMost carefully<\/p>\n
\nWith its irregular hedges
\nAnd fading timber
\nI sit brooding on a plastic chair
\nOpen another bottle
\nLight a cigar
\nThink unkind thoughts.<\/p>\n
