Ev’ry now and then
comes the urge to indulge
in treats sweetly tasting

Rolls of turf await
slow unwinding before
a fine green lawn appears

A celestial trail crossing
the west London sky
very faintly

Eyes glued to screens
On tablets and phones:
Absorbed, alone with their egos

Vienna and Wiesbaden can
No more be reach’d
From this here station

Like ants they crawl
Across a sea of glass
High above the River Thames

Let us spray
That the water will help
Nourish the vegetati-on

Power, skill, tactics,
tennis on the closely clipped lawn:
game, set, and match
Waiting, waiting, waiting,
Always delay’d
Why did we fly Ryanair?

Reptile on a wall
Hot stone in Palermo
The warmth of Sicily
