Walking up St Aldates at noon I noticed ...


Serengeti

Business men leap the road

Like gazelles on acid

Graceful, lubricated on their lunch break

Catching buses like bubbles in jelly, captured for them and waiting for them

To scoot them and slide them away from their grey sticks of peopled offices.

They meet and sniff each other and lollop into cafes where they have

Grass and espressos, and exchange

Bowler Hats (as pocket watches are now out of fashion).
