Parcel

postie

 

 

 

 

 

I was finishing with the business of a morning ablution
when the doorbell rang and expecting a delivery I
quickly finished, pulled on my tracksuit bottoms and
ran down the stairs where sure enough it was the postie
who handed me my stuff, and at that very point I may have
felt it once on my calf but a small item appeared out of my
right leg and rolled onto the carpet where she saw it
immediately and although if I were in her shoes I would
have pretended to ignore out of politeness she said without
pause you seem to have dropped a parcel so on the one
hand I thought that was rude if clever considering her job
but on the other was brave, and I also thought how good it
would be if politicians could be as candid yet honest and
even funny when going on and on about their own shit.
