THE BLACK-EDGED PRAM

THE BLACK-EDGED PRAM

A Poem by Phil Roberts
"

The black-edged pram represents a life from cradle to grave.

"
Startled like a spring
Opened wide of eye
Suddenly a newness
Rushing pushing by
This mortal instant
Here
Now
See?

The black-edged pram
Softly ticking wheels
"Isn't it" and "Isn't it"
Squeak those ticking wheels
Passing always passing
Ever-changing sky
Moving always moving
Opened wide of eye
The black-edged pram
Goes softly ticking by
