There goes the 9:37

There goes the 9:37

From Revesby

Out to the North Sea


There on this blue sky

Cold and frosty morning

Where life is indeed awash


Open the back curtains

Turn off the lights

Be at one with one


You have read the social media

But not yet blamed the news

As you put your day in context


Here you sit

Listening to Radio Three

Talking about the Franco-Flemish composers


Which in all honesty

Means next to nothing to you

Except today it is a mark in the sand


As is the fact

That you promised to tidy your room

Oh but that can happen later, can’t it

Already then a margin

Already then a margin

Already then a touch of gold

Already then a kindness

With the nerve of growing old


Already then the chagrin

Already then a letter to say no

Already then a hardness

With the debt of nervous bold

Would you choose the simple

Or the abstract form


Would you rather find a meaner muse


It was more than a ruse

Yet how did it lose its way


Would you prefer to cruise

Without paying your dues

Limitations

Love Working With Who You Are


Did one lead

Did one follow

Did one make life clear

Did one leave a life confused

Clock :: Abstract Form

Spaces, between faces

Lines in the sand

Will you wait for me

Will I wait for you


A longer stretch

Approaching a biography

Dipping in

Dripping out


Did you notice my discomfort

Did I notice yours

The yin and the yang of it

The tick and the tock of it


Chases, between places

Defined by plans

Will you hesitate for me

Will I be obdurate for you
