LATE NIGHT TRUDGES

LATE NIGHT TRUDGES

Late night trudges

Back to the outlands

After an evening of pizza 

And theatre in cinema

Arranged before my fall

The chill of night
Enlightened by sounds
Of faraway test matches
And clear bright night stars
Visible to one and all

But I’m still getting up

Unreasonably early 

To deliver icily 

To their daily transport 

Those who can still walk tall

MAWH, 291119
