Optimism
Walking through town as the sun sneaks up
glinting tiles
feeling the buzz of streets waking up
of newspapers unbundled
coffee machines primed
smell wakes the air
tuna mayo cement and baguette bricks
ready for construction
How do?
Morning, much brighter today…
Lights on
weekend leftovers swilled
pavement signs propped
Good weekend?
Lovely thanks
Last night’s rain dries from cobbles
the man with the old white dog has his paper under his arm
and children are half hauled:
Come on you’ll be late
Office lunches put in fridges
shop doormats out.
This is the best part of the day.
