On the bench for Eddie Northway
Sat looking out to sea
With sunlight on the ripples
Of the memories for you and me
Waiting for the news of the future
A momentous turn of life
With the deity of the past behind us
Remember: the two-step of Johann Cruyff
I dare not, do not, say not
With hopes to occupy the mind
I am not, here not, say not
With thoughts reaching for sublime
Why are, why do, why why
With hornets, wasps and bees
The warm sun is the reason
For promenades by palm trees
