In a scuffle in the viewing gallery
of a regional netball game in Southampton,
whatever this temporal fug now is,
it kicked in at Mytchett.
At a standstill by the Basingstoke Canal
at Rushmoor parkrun, the slowing down of time
and will to survive kicked in at Mytchett.
Have you seen the price of a coffee
at Sutton Scotney – this ennui
over a latte at the cost of a pint
kicked in at Mytchett
and through Yateley and Little Sandhurst
I was transformed again
by the renewing of the mind
only to board the Cross Country railway.
Wandering around Stoke Minster
after a football away day
and on to Planet Bollywood
disorder returned; I couldn’t resist it.
Out of a compost of faults
I sense this indeterminate whatever
kicked in at Mytchett.
