I found you fully dressed on a scruffy settee in the cabin
Swimming is one of my passions
And I often use the centre’s private pool
Before the day starts
Perhaps I might drown
But I am strong swimmer
So I have my doubts
I often invite you to swim with me
So that I might see your breasts
But you decline
Instead we have adopted a stray cat
Which we call
Scenes of a Sexual Nature
I do not wake up naturally
As I am awoken by the screech gulls
We went to the beach today
As you had asked to swim
I covered my eyes with a Bible as you changed
As I had no desire to see your breasts
After we had finished our swim
We lay in the sun together
And decided to compose a poem
We called it
The End of the World
I am at a fashion show in France
I was not invited
I stumbled on the event
I am taking notes
I have been asked to leave
I am in a long passageway
It is full of jumble for a forthcoming sale
For an hour I help the organisers
And am given a soft clown as a reward
And then I find myself alone in a railway station
I have no money so I cannot travel
I give the soft clown to an infant
The family invites me to travel with them
And buys me a breakfast before we leave
We are all travelling to London as they are my neighbours
