what's mine

what's mine

A Poem by sea lily

a man came round today
with tattoos
and a red letter.
it said you owed
900 pounds to the government
and they were taking everything.

i live here
but my things are not your things.
what have they to do
with ponds cold cream
and evelyn rose perfume
or the mugs i stole from my old work?

you've opened my eyes to so many worlds
and this is my least favourite one.
