> It is not what I expected.

> The train ride from Lime Street and a change,

> traps were available from the station

> We were dressed for it.
> And now every device for giddiness greets us.

> A fair up here on the viewpoint:
>
> swing boats where one can tumble against each other
>
> mirrors that distort shapes, shooting,
>
> fortunes told, the grass pressed and hot
>
> after a whole summer of this.
>
> Nowhere to breathe so we walk the rocks
>
> to look back up to estuary and home.
> On the way avoiding others
>
> you grind initials onto soft sandstone.
