i found this book
through serendipity (or
luck and who does not
like the word..)

not love, i refused to
say, and still do but within
probably a mark
known to all (but not me..)

unless you are one of they
who fold the corner with an
old sadistic joy-
actually, a boarding pass..

from twenty years previous!
small, unobtrusive and almost
apologetic-a lovely yellow
from coventry to pisa..

seat number (in biro)
an illegible signature (of
the traveller)(in biro)-which would get you
a year today..

the flight number (in biro)
i think three  numbers-seq?(ditto)
i look at it and i feel adventure!
there is even a smiling face..!

i look at it, about the size of
a cigarette box,i mean what a
difference-
coventry to pisa..
