DAMIAN GARSIDE

ON THE SAFE SIDE

manna, thunder, rain

all fell

filtered


a droplet could crush

your skull were

it not for

air resistance


the

warp and

the woof


and the masses went carnival

when they heard there was manna


some said

that the sky had

become garrulous as

a drunken lover


others

a tad more spiritual

and metaphysical

swore it was

the Universe

providing where

requested


answering every

question to

be on the safe side
