Today is to be a walk
I have put on my socks which will shortly
Be followed by my sturdy walking boots
The sun streams
Directly through
The East-facing windows
Actually it is later than I thought
Also sun and windows face more South than East
Nevertheless today is to be a day to walk
In lieu of Kendal mint cake
Of which we are without
I have had seeded bread with strawberry jam
I have received a book of walks
You know the sort you get for Christmas
It arrived just in time for the new years resolutions
We fixed the mantelpiece clock yesterday
Soon the fifteen minute chime will chime
And ever so soon it will chime again
The sun streams
Directly upon me
Sat in my soft yellow jumper
Today we will have a walk
You may detect a hint of hesitation
But then it is a Sunday
Yes it is a Sunday
And it is still a good few minutes before
Eleven o’clock in the morning
