NIPPON PAINTS

Fresh the new Green bud

staring wide eyed at the world

casting shadow small

Mature majesty

Painted with a Yellow blush

Chiquita you call

Heart of Gold, overripe

Cloak of perfume, spirit wild

Brown carved on its wall

Time sweeps slow decay

Withered skin Black contracted

Squashed abandoned doll

Slip sliding away

Banana peel discarded

Awaiting foot fall
