The Inkwell#Circles #roundabout #Salford #Fowc
Heading off on a journey ?
enjoy the trip
a ride you haven’t enjoyed since you were young
driving round and round
in a vain attempt to find the right road out
noted you thought you knew the right direction –
going to be dizzy when you finally find the right exit
#fowc #iron
Rock in the mountain
fractured and hived out for years
for precious metal
heated up and formed
into many different
household objects
Heavy Metal in
sight of the green grasses
keeping the pets in
hardened metal ore
what’s its own achilles heel ?
coming from the clouds
#Fowc #platform
Perched on a bench – sat by a
line….waiting
as the station announcer
tells you over the tannoy, that your train isn’t arriving
for another forty minutes
on the plus side….the cafeteria is nearby so you can
ravish your teeth on another British Rail Pastry
moment to enjoy while you wait….
A draft of idea
getting what you want on paper
without going into any great detail
the first bone of a skeleton
that forms over time
will it end up on the gallery wall ?
time will tell
but the recepticle by your right hand side
is ready to receive it should you change your mind
#fowc #Rage
Red Mist descending
as the bull has the red rag rustled in front of it
got to admit – its a bit foolhardy
engaging the switch that early
#fowc #fortitude
It’s that thing that’s ultimately unique to you
despite your troubles, your aches
your problems or pains
you still manage to get through the day
all in a kind, and friendly way
#fowc #Dough
Down in a corner of the kitchen
Over by the bread bin and
Under a tea towel
Great things are happening – the bread’s beginning to prove
Hot ovens await, and butter and jam soon after
#fowc #squeegee
Someone’s idea of being Alan Sugar for a day
qualified ? hardly….but we were definitely equipped
up to our eyeballs in sponges, window mops and
extremely soapy water.
each car getting the full wash
gratefully receiving payment for the work we did
everyone making sure each car was bright as a button for
each of us got a share of the takings.

Going round the world, before the age of space
Local merchants from London to Madrid thought earth flat as a pancake
On some occasions, they said they’d fall off the edge
Before the scientists took the flat- earthers map (treated it like an orange)
End result ? something that looks a little more round
Salford 19th April 2020
Too many things going on
Too many many people wanting your attention
Too many jobs on that “To-do” list of yours
Things landing on you at breakneck pace
Things you have to run and chase
Things you would rather not have to face
Time moving quickly – no time to stop
Time on a schedule – targets can’t flop
Time to be valued – not after you drop
