In her dream Jean Timpson
Was sitting on a wall
Above a beach
She was topless
And wondered why
Market traders
Were approaching her
And discussing the colour red
In the distance she could see
An industrial plant
Polluting the sea the sky
And the land
She could see minute crabs
Playing rugby internationals
But never scoring
To their obvious distress
A musician handed her a camera
And asked her to capture his music
Which she did
Whilst riding a bike
