Hi all, during a recent visit to London I stayed with a friend in Vauxhall.
--
angles harden in the sunlight
ashphalt frames the cherry pink
a note of cannabis drifts up from the street
streams of people cross the river
strung out on a strand of grey
a cormorant flies closer to the water
Tate Modern gapes a massive maw
I am Jonah in the whale
the rich queue up to gaze out of the window
glass grows bright as chitin
round the entrance to the underground
old concrete fades to grey in greasy runnels
Portugese and Afghans
shoot the breeze outside the irish pub
ensconced behind the dead-locks there are children
