Cosy Corner |
Gerald Bostock, fresh from school with few O-levels, sets his sights |
No grand, fanciful fantasies but level headed middle ground |
The retail trade, the corner shop, at humble service of plain town-folk |
Open at nine and closed by six: enough to work, play, work around |
Regulars drop by to chat in idle gossip, repetition |
Same old words, another day while, all the time, life slips away |
But slips so slowly, stretches moments into hours and hours to years |
With characters by Harold Pinter, dark silences, slow Passion Play |
Then home to fire up model trains and shunt and shuffle wagons, locomotive |
breath upon his brow |
Smooth clockwork running motors hum while barren Madge prepares hot dinner |
Fray Bentos pie: always a winner |
So, praise life’s routine cozy habits |
And don’t forget to call your Mum |
