Two Sides - Same Coin

In Forest Row
I write of meditations
Of walks, of flowers

In Cleethorpes
I do not know where the sea is
Or the waves, or the windmill towers

I was, I will
I am, to be
I was, I will, I am, to be

I watch, I cringe
I detect, I am not me
I watch, I cringe; I am, but it’s not me

Cannot entirely be blamed
Yet they do play a part
In moving about those who are

By The Tower

Families stroll by
Wearing caps and cardigans
Young men strut about
In tee-shirts, with towels

Summer sun
And roller coasters
Take me back to Blackpool prom
From Pleasure Beach to Talbot Road

Some things
You can only do alone
Some things
You have to do together

Eat In, Carry Out

The Clock
3, 4 & 5 Sandbeck Arcade
Skegness

Fish, chips, mushy peas
Tea, bread with butter

‘We do not do fast food
Only good food as fast as we can’

Up the road
At the Grosvenor Hotel
My partner conducts a wedding
For someone who hasn’t yet paid
