5517 - I am the passenger

Sitting in a National Express coach. South
We head, through green lands and bare hills, twisting 
Rivers, service station stop, Tebay. Both
Times I’ve liked stopping here. First time, shining 
Sun and scenery. This time I’m shopping 
In the Farm Shop, so much good stuff, hope I’ll 
Be back soon. Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, drinking 
Two bottles of beer tonight, each bottle 
From a local brewery. A slight struggle 
To carry it all with no basket. Mouth-
Watering Kendal mint cake is adding 
To the pleasures later. Manchester full
Of police cars, vans, horse boxes. It is both
To protect Tories and watch the protesting…
