deans yard

sitting on some -----------------

glorious ancient wall 

in st deans yard

like a bum; I was caught off guard

--------------------------I was off duty

I was overcome

by London's dis-beauty

//////a murky dawn

a feeling of forlorn

all around 

all around

the trumpets sound

and the school boys talk about history

as the motorcyclist 

lies on a stretcher

while the paramedics and police 

scrape metal off the floor

we all saw
it, ------a mortal
---------------fall through

a portal
------------gone------
