Clasp |
| We travellers on the endless wastes |
| In single orbits gliding |
| Cold-eyed march towards the dawn |
| Behind hard-weather hoods a-hiding |
| Meeting as the tall ships do, passing in the channel |
| Afraid to chance a gentle touch --- |
| Afraid to make the clasp |
| In high-rise city canyons dwells the discontent of ages |
| On ring roads, nose to bumper crawl |
| Commuters in their cages. |
| Cryptic signals flash |
| Across from pilots in the fast lane. |
| Double-locked |
| And belted in --- too late to make the clasp |
| Let’s break the journey now on some lonely road |
| Sit down as strangers will, let the stress unload |
| Talk in confidential terms, share a dark unspoken fear |
| Refill the cup and drink it up. |
| Say goodnight and |
| Wish good luck |
| Synthetic chiefs with frozen smiles holding unsteady courses |
| Grip the reins of history, high on their battle horses |
| And meeting as good statesmen do before the T. V |
| Eyes of millions, hand to hand exchange the lie --- |
| Pretend to make the clasp |
