One for yr C & C:
Each morning this week on The Circular
He’s sat reading a paper, always last Thursdays,
at arm’s length, squinting,
turning pages loudly, then,
as people nudge past him, he stops
at a half-page photograph –
the black and white face as expressionless,
as grey as his own. Each trembles
yet neither moves – until he folds it,
stands, sways towards the door,
gets off at the hospital then stands there
and he’s talking, sub headings
to a story no-one would print.

Oh, I hope y can work it out, The Circular is a Bus!
