THE WORLD STANDS STILL
( for Ray Pool )

here a flash
of horse

( was it
brown or black? )

there leaping lambs
here leaping lambs

trees finding it im-
possible to keep up

a river giving it a good go: but
...falling behind also

a cow...acowandanothercow: now
all run to-get-her

the 3.33
snorting at the station

pawing at the platform
in a huff

an iron horse
hooting like a mechanical owl

hoooOOOOOOOOOO
ahhhhh at last

the world stands
still.

*

And when ya stick yer head out the window 'cos ya just can't help it and ya know ya have to...you come back in covered in soot and cinders all in yer hair. Ahhh the sheer physicality of it all!
