Down the road
No more than a stroll away
A couple are getting married
The sun is warm
The sky is blue
Exactly the kind of day to wish for
What’s that you say
Be careful what you wish for
Remember ’75 or was it ’76
There is a stone detail
Around the top of the windows
I have not seen the like before
Be wary of surprises
Did you really say that
As you handed them their rings
Two rolled up balls of foil wrapping
Both remnants of the serving
Of Americano Coffee
Arctic Monkeys
(Once of High Green, Sheffield)
Play out on the Power Dynamics speakers
Huge, imitation bottle tops on the wall
Fooks Strawberry Milk catches my eye
With its artificial flavor and color
Why did the letter u not travel to America
The music does have a u
So far it is al from the UK
And could easily be one of my playlists
Do you remember… in five years time
It was fun, fun, fun…
Oh, oh
oh there’s trouble in America
Nothing on the tv, nothing on the radio
that I can believe in
But who is it by

Here is the feather
But already I have forgotten
The time and the place
That it entered my life
I do remember that I thought it to be
A native American Indian tradition
To bring security and joy
Into the wigwams and the teepees
I have an idea
That it could have been a monastery
A retreat to spirituality
Where events such as this could occur
And now my invaluable
If somewhat vulnerable breath
Blows it across the table
Requiring a moment of recovery

It is a quiet town
For a bright orange
’67 Transporter
Is everything as it really is
Is this the truth that they really represented
It is a slow-driver Sunday
For a gloss black
2010 Transporter
That the presence should wait for me
On the tarmacadam roads of awareness
Have Laura’s green leaves decorated the BA
And could they do the same
For my next year’s transporter
It is a black coffee rest place
For an Italian jacket and a Japanese pencil
