Weeping at St Pancras


I tend to think of an incident

Which happened about five years ago

Where were you going Potts

I was travelling to Dover

Because H was returning on the ferry

Do you know St P Harry

A little

Well I was walking through the arches from the tube station

When I saw a girl seated on the floor nearby weeping deeply

She was a Big Issue seller and appeared to be a junkie

What did you do

I gave her a fiver and told her to get a coffee

Did she

No she told me to fuck off as grief was a private thing

And

I said that I would like to share her grief and gave her another five pounds
