Couples

The swagger of her backside
A desperate need to move on
No time to reflect or meditate
On the artists transitory life

They turn together, smiling
Perhaps they met at Cambridge
One leads, one follows; one is as
Dominant, as one is submissive

Wellcome

Slim youth, in new blue jeans

He seems too well preserved

For the self portrait of death

I observe his Abercrombie and

Fitch innocent white T shirt as

He flirts with the idea of ageism

The page is turned by artists

Older and younger than the

Mustachioed man in suits

Whose fruitful collection is

Today's hope of redirection 

For youths in denim jeans

Who it seems are fascinated

By the distant dirge of death

09:08

Day tripping

Slipping back the sheets

Of weekend magazines

The neat skirts of writers

Flirting with their past

Lasting impressions

Of careers that crashed

Petite tales, on rails

Of steel and wonder

Under the disguise of

Surprises sprung

Bags slung on the racks

As we hurry down the tracks

Back to back conversations, with

Bathing beauties, in crimplene slacks

Floatation

Was it me who loved your sea

Was it you who fell for my open moor

Was it we who gave our children

Oceans and mountains

Beside the streams, while climbing trees

Exit Station

Cups of sodium lights
As if each one a cell
A memory connector
An illumination on
Delirious pasts &
Premonitory futures
