as obvious
& pedestrian
& unremarkable
as the events were & seem 

that they contrived

to
place
THIS text HERE

is still too much to hold
&
blows my tiny eight bit mind

out of its oil crisis

half day closing

silver jubilee

space age origins

AFTER READING TED LEWIS

then-

rolf harris on the tele

four pennies
for
the
call box

the buttonmen walk
with that walk
they all have

~

i was born then
decimalised

still i remember 
the old pence hangover
and
wednesday half-day closing

~

now-
rolf harris locked up

penny slots
welded over
in 
any 
call boxes
still standing

and the buttonmen walk
with that walk
they all have
