on the platform at Bank, erect at Suez.
None has declined more since ’57. But the
spasm that runs every night over Fleet.

that come now: enjoying their ports in Greens.

is paper. Read by some. In finance.
It was May; the sky was early technicolour.
I was removed by something greased, a civil
servant-learning Pythagoras after Eden.
