                                prelude:

                had a day to myself
                no work to do no family no obligation
                I could have built myself a castle stony to the sky
                but I did nothing to make my mark in the world
                nothing to house
                the sky

                and I felt strangely accepting of that
                a sort-of love really

                                travel

                woke-up stupid lack-slept
                but I have a certain love for myself
                and I get on with last-minute packing

                people, slaves in so many ways to Have
                but I have a certain love for myself
                and can accept us all to suffer our own coffees

                there is steel in all the greens and mist in all the sunlight
                the harvester shaves the field to dust and someone
                burns the wood to waft across the motorway

                but I have a certain love for myself and
                I let them all pass and while the rubber turns
                the tarmac I progress to a destination

                                ===============

                                blumbered from the crackly radio

                flat fried eggs blupped onto the bonnet from the tree-lamps
                                down the middle of the motorway

                and as the spikey-fine fir trees flinked some white silliness
                                into my piping-hot tea –

                “Whappo” said the tatty tyres slapping the tarmac
                                over the hills and far away

                                   encroached by

                                   loaned onto the

                                   branch-blossomed
                                   and lonely white
                                   sky crossed and
                                   quietly antenna-

          clown

          the rain blew at an angle
          across the motorway
     the leather-clad jackdaw
          turned his smiling face
     and hitched a lift
          from the double-glazing van
     the red lights silently screamed
          as the tinkling glass
          bled red lipstick
          spattered over the
          bridge pillar

                                              the run of
                           the motorway

                the smile of
                the curves
                the smell of

                the patch of grass
                at the bottom of
                the road as
                the ball bounced out

                between the cars
                the quiet transistor radio
                the strum of an acoustic guitar

                                                           service station

            Have stands by the free table but looks all around
                          before setting the cups down
            Have concentrates at the table –
                          have I Got everything? –
            Have takes a bite then scans the room –
                          head locked – before chewing
