Scattered messages

1953

It is Coronation Way

The Queen at Crossley carpets


Parties in the street

Flyovers not yet built or flown over

I cannot get near you

Too many shoddy words stand in the way

I can hardly hear you

Too much history shuttles through these buildings


You or I

Not then a flicker in our mother's looms

Try now to make our own way

Selling

By telling still

Someone else's worsted and woven story
