There goes the 9:37

There goes the 9:37

From Revesby

Out to the North Sea


There on this blue sky

Cold and frosty morning

Where life is indeed awash


Open the back curtains

Turn off the lights

Be at one with one


You have read the social media

But not yet blamed the news

As you put your day in context


Here you sit

Listening to Radio Three

Talking about the Franco-Flemish composers


Which in all honesty

Means next to nothing to you

Except today it is a mark in the sand


As is the fact

That you promised to tidy your room

Oh but that can happen later, can’t it
