From Tell Mistakes I Love Them http://vpresspoetry.blogspot.co.uk/p/tell-mistakes-i-love-them.html Grounded Yesterday, when we were nine, we stole a real imaginary lorry that smelled of circus. It had an elephant engine with a flame-juggler sound. It had unicycle seats and lion-tamer windows which we stole together but stopped before the trapeze started. Then we saw the shadow runners. A tightrope chase caught us with one leg over the fence and the other not. An ankle-drag pull and we’re chained to the big-top prison waiting for acrobats to take us home, made to place our heads into the roaring mouth of our lion-angry mum. Our punishment, a ringmaster ear-clip and a bedroom full of sad clown faces.
