Urban culture diet. Have seen two films
And a play of an afternoon. Buenos Aires,
New York and California, beneath a London sky.

The Mormon LaBute sat us in his mercy seat
To convey ironies of history/ power.
In urbane Islington an audience chuckled
Knowing a good bone when given one to chew.

The piece ruffled feathers, then smoothed them over.
The call was made, life went on, leading to meze
In an Upper Street Turkish with friends and thoughts of
The uncertainties only work can keep at bay.

My re-birth registered not in tottering
Moral towers, but five Thameside minutes
Caught for a thousandth time, yet the first all over again.
