Sun shines, cool breeze
Gas work excavations
Yellow pipes
Snake through the ground
Peeping through
Muddy holes
With muddled pipes
Yellow pipes
Snake through the ground
Peeping through
Muddy holes
With muddled pipes
A cacophony of cables
Fight for space
Barriers bar the way
To normal routes
Cross across the road
Avoiding cars and
Big fat SUV’s
Bossing their way
Through diverted traffic
Gymnastic leg cocks
Defying gravity
Mark the way
To more sniffs
Than can be sniffed at
Such is the canine pleasure
Familiar roue marred by
Litter, E-fags and cans
From late-night revellers
Fight for space
Barriers bar the way
To normal routes
Cross across the road
Avoiding cars and

Gymnastic leg cocks
Defying gravity
Mark the way
To more sniffs
Than can be sniffed at
Such is the canine pleasure
Familiar roue marred by
Litter, E-fags and cans
From late-night revellers
No doubt at all
Patchwork pavements
Scarred by men
With picks and shovels
Making holes to bury things
For others to find
And bury again
Painty sprays make
Mystery marks
Of hidden stuff
That we don’t know
A lexicon of mystery
Marks and glyphs
To fade away in time
Just like this walk
Will fade away
In time for a
Frothy cappuccino
At my favourite
Coffee place
Patchwork pavements

Just like this walk
