Ended up in Southall
listening to Dorothy Carter in the rain
the relentless rain did I mention the rain took a bus
took a wrong turn saw the water tower
the town hall. An ex-colleague lived here
I imagined a dialogue, not unusual but
Fruitless, circular, not one of the more
comforting ruminations
Remember, at some point, mention
delicious aromas and the vibrancy
Traditional folk, medieval revival,
psychedelic experimentation
In the rain prior, I went to Hayes & Harlington
took three or four wrong turnings there too
this is what we do now
ransack the outskirts on a wet Weds
For free, in yr spare
soakd unto drooned rat and this was the last
time I wore my bonnie Berghaus before it
perished, mercifully
in an alien machine
