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 |
