Inside
Toby bazaared at Ikea.
Novelty Caesium ceiling spotlights,
an upholstered cousinly eyeful.
A Fler dish candles a summer cloud
on tempered glass
and oak veneer,
fronting Wilma see-through nets.

Outside
a displaced visitant
fossil-faced what’s-er-name’s
good riddanced,
shoving-off back lane waste
(mahogany drawers,
Parker Knoll, polystyrene)
in a wheel-let-slip shopping trolley.
