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

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
