The beautiful game

 

Naples in London

twenty two battle it out;

new gladiators.

  • On my way to a football match between my beloved Arsenal and Napoli.

Seasons are changing

 

Conversation stops

outside the kitchen window

brimstone butterfly.

Paradox

 

An agent of change

seeking new ways of thinking

while disliking change.

Urban dawn

 

Atop the rubble

that was once the GPO

pigeons greet the day.

Too short the break

 

The week ahead looms

my spirits gloomy and low

there’s no va va voom.

White goods

 

Electronic peeps

displace natural birdsong

dysfunctional world.

Signal failure

 

Delayed at Didcot

nothing much to see or do

tracks are tracks are tracks.

Killing time

 

Bloody massacre

slow hours, minutes and seconds

writhe in agony.

Football pools

 

Mum used to do them

knowing nothing of football

a seventies thing.
