Supermarket Car Park Lunch

I change the radio station
From highbrow political debate
To an earnestly presented classical music concert

I imagine the coal fired power stations
Emitting their final puff of smoke
Their feed canals empty of bulk fuel transport barges

As if the camaraderie of working men is to be gone
No more the communal showers
No more the rush to the clocking off clocks

There is rain 
It streams down the car window
There is a meeting to attend

It is not to listen to a recitation by Lawrence Sail
It is not to joke
About the frequencies of peak experiences

Although for some perhaps it is


Elbowed Out - Love of Listening to Michelangelo
