Bent elbow
to stuttering illumination,
patch rust pain
of decades standing
neighbourhood watch -
a hopeful graphic of law,
The slim silhouette
ready for an occasional bicycle
that pays its leaning respects,
But time’s inventions
mean tired fluorescents
will be LED to retirement.

Starting Thoughts: Looking at an old rusty lamppost and considering how technology is changing the environment around us.
