Frampton Dreams Of Springsteen (for dearest Gertrude)

I’ve got
new shoes
a strong heel
red laces.

That will
take us
to unknown
places.

Like Romford.

I’ve been
out of sorts.
A ship with
no ports.

Grazing
for days.

in
a
malaise.

To coin a phrase.

Oh Gertrude!
Come run
as fast
as you can
with me.

I have a flask
pork pies
a Kit Kat
some fruit…

For our tea.
