SURREY’S NEW CENTURY


the sodden clag of fields

spills surface water

along leafless lanes


lying at arm’s length

up tarmac drives,

the bon viveurs of capital

hidden in shrubbery


mock-antique pubs

just a stone’s throw

in one’s mock-jeep,

fully equipped with bull bars,

and a carrier

for one’s spare tyre


tax deductable,

those personalised plates

numbering identity,

or lack of it


cosy. a nice little earner


vii.2000
