The Inkwell

#Wellies #Sailing

You purchased the wet weather gear

entirely for this moment

concentric circles forming round your feet

while raindrops congregated

in and around abandoned coffee cups

and pooling on ceramic plates as the ducks watched on

ideas to go boating on the open waters of Windermere

quickly dashed by sudden downpours

and by the looks of the small puddles round your wellies

it looks like you’ve already been out there
