The carpet lifted br & fell br br (lifted) &(fell) br br like a strange br seaweed br br boots like boats br made their own way down br br the river br that was now the main hall. br br Granda's stamp br album br br unmoored itself br from the book case br br and all the countries br of the world br br such a colourful br floatilla br br sailed out br the front door. br br A triangular Outer br Mongolia br br leading the way. br br The dog barked br fromt he safety of the stairs br br at the broken br china dog br br who had stood guard br over the piano br br for a good twenty years. br br A pink tutu br & a left hand shoe br br joined br the procession br br the flood br treating us humans br br as if we were br mere things br br and things br it elevated br br into Kings br & Queens br br we all losing br our heads. br br The waters br ransacked our memories br br scattered our lifes br about us br br our possessions br deserting us br br as we retreated br to the attic br br going into exile br until rescued by br br next door's farmer br in a beautiful pea green boat br br the stars piercing br in their brightness br br us watching br ourselves br br on the telly br br as we became br News.
