Room

‘That’s the tulips planted.’
‘I didn’t think you had room for all of them in those pots Tom.’
‘You plant them in layers Sandra.’

Boom boom went the room
The reception was in full swing
The bride swung with the groom
Grannies danced like frenzy
Uncles suddenly became groovy
A sight that has been rarely repeated
Especially in Neasden just before Noon

Fungi infected dusty tomb, Trapdoor crashing boom,
Asthma choking dust plume,
Gloom and unavoidable doom,
Decaying corpse perfume.
