Tea a plate of cheese
Fit for a doll's house,
After the rain,
My path home,
Will be flooded
And again, tomorrow,
I'll have to find another way,
What then?
A late birthday, or an early Christmas?

Just imagine being in this pub
People have reached the
'to be honest' situation.
Before the next round of drinks.
Apparently it's 'difficult '
I suppose we are not at the
'I'm not racist, but'
the horizon

Can't we stay the same forever?
We are stuck with change.

My twelve string guitar,
Price, just talk between friends,
Never 'played', just strummed
A rich sound, from its string stretched belly
A capo on the neck to reduce the strain
Twice on stage,
The first the amp didn't work
The second it did, to the disappointment

We don't need to "protect our borders"
Our biggest threat doesn't need to cross a border to harm us.
From a yacht, billionaires can move markets, pressure govs, dodge taxes & bankroll politicians to rewrite our laws.
The threat isn't the "outsider"
It's the concentrated power already inside.

Having carefully selected my surplus clothing,
Difficult decisions, caused by change,
Here I am at the clothes bank,
Item by tearful item,
Saying 'goodbye',
Allover, again.

The rain and wind came
Twice my trains were stuck for fallen trees,
The second returned to a station
Where 'another train would be waiting
Just down these stairs'
Nothing there but more wind and cold rain.
When a train stopped crowd got on.
And then off, it wasn't right for them.

There is a walk past,
Safely on the grass
The bold or stupid
Stick to the rock
And follow on until its blackness
Removes the route not taken

Always the same lunch after I've scanned the menu. I don't move on. Much.

Thump,
Bump,
The whole road vibrating
As the bass drum
Kept pace at the back
While we stood aside on the path,
Traffic, if there was any stopped,
But, maybe the bus,
We all followed on, bashfull,
This was a village thing,

Grandparents, always had a room put aside , kept smart,
The important room, kept for special days, Christmas ,or a death in the family.
It held a cabinet full of history, pocket watches on presentation chains. Timeless, no hand to wind them now. History has stopped, the room silent, the air stilled.

Give me some heat to complain about,
