You'll work it out, don't worry. Image is Peter Breughel the Elder's The Land of Cockaigne, it is in the public domain and the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, where I've seen it.

Entered in a poetry competition more than 10 years ago. I think it came 2nd last. I've just found it again. Perhaps you'd prefer it if I hadn't. Image author's own, made at canva.com using a collage technique.

of this skilfully written tale.
I've spotted two typos.

You have "coffee's" vice "coffees" at line 2.

This reminds me of the kitchen sink drama* so prevalent in British film, TV and stage drama in the 60s. The narrative voice is utterly convincing. The milieu, the circumstances of the narrator and the locale are all outwith my life experiences,...
