Day trips and home again (parts 1 & 2)
The blind beggar near Aldgate
a city gent at the Embankment
the Temple not meant for a psalm
this District line takes
some time to unravel
so I travel on blindly
much the same as the beggar.
Euphoria
I'm passing Victoria and she passed
away many a long day ago.
and
I am heading to Kew but Richmond may do
a walk in the gardens or a stroll by the Thames
all caught quite neatly by the camera's lens.
In a day filled with happy
I have to ask her to
slap me
just in case I am dreaming.
........................ ................,.
(part 2)
Back I thought to Barons court
alas 'twas not to be
I took the platform on the other side to find myself beside a sea
which pleased me absolutely,
going home is such a chore
I'd sooner watch the comings of the tide but what I actually saw
was building sites by seaside huts,
this nuts and bolts society has once again undoubtedly
******* me up completely.
Short platforms are the norm for me
in this shrunken underground
where I can see
that insanity
Is the next stop.
