quest in brown

                                when the light bulbs cast shaded
                                over the ceiling and early late evening
                                into the rooms I made my way
                                to the Slade* to try one last shop
                                to see if there was one last Colan**
                                stone-faced and shunned reaching
                                tragic from the cover a number
                                I had somehow missed a chapter
                                that would open off an unknown
                                corridor before returning home and
                                supper

* a dip along the ridge of Plumstead Common with a line of local shops to serve the local terraced houses
** Gentleman Gene Colan, comic book artist, rest in peace, live long in fluid picture
