Attention

It is a super-yacht marina

Harbour Moon is berthed here

The Triasmapi company

Continually ferry to Formentera


How could he not

Have an iced Martini

Or a line of cocaine

Or something surely stronger


Yet there is no sign of a party

Nor of lunch being taken

In fact all is still, except

Another ferry departs


I remember Puerto Buenos

A Russian oligarch, and an 

American, who made Kennedy’s

Wife into Jackie Onassis


They were as if in competition

Pulling in alongside each other

For the spit, for the polish, for the obsessions

To be fastidiously applied
