From the top of the tower
he had an ideal view
of the comings and goings
down below
Looking down
he could see
all the cars and the buses
making their way through the big city
And as they moved
through the city
big as they were – the people
looked like tiny ants
And as he looked at them
A small group of ants
looked up at his viewpoint
where he was sitting

I
The sky and stars are yours
rising to new heights
where you want to go
is all up to you
maybe one day
you’ll make it to the moon
II
Keeping your feet on
Terra Firma – was always
your best idea – sinking your feet
down into nice warm sand
The moon is nice
from a seat by the sea

Drifting into a lovely dream
resting on a hundred or more feathers and a few more bouncy springs
in time i’m picking toffee apples off a nearby tree, and
four and twenty cartoon animals are joining me
to have the wonder of all picnics
in time – i’ll be going back to the run-of-the-mill routine
not until the alarm bell
goes off beyond the garden

No computer required
as up on my window ledge
there are feathered friends residing
until their chicks are fully fledged they’ll be
residing there chirping from morning till night – I
expect to be up early when the sun pops up

Basic and spinal injury centre, Salford.
We’ve all played the board game of snakes and ladders before
The idea is you roll the dice, go up the ladders and down the snakes
all very straight forward , but has anyone tried playing it the other way round ?
Where you go up the snakes and down the ladders ?
It’s just as fun – and requires a lot of concentration – as you hit a ladder at the top and find yourself going down it instead of up.
We played it both ways – the reverse game is a lot more challenging.
