Poem of the Day
To Dover from Calais
After midnight we drive through Sangatte
Taken from 'Seasonal Disturbances '...on the outskirts, where teenagers rush to the tunnel. In the big-cat gleam of our headlamps the boys pause for a heartbeat— disappear in a flash. If you’re not really a Syrian is it safer in the Congo, or Afghanistan? While we all fiddle with our smartphones sniffer dogs inhale the articulated lorry. Two ferrymen tell me how they feel okay because they pull up the bridge and sail away. It’s only a joke if it’s funny so I don’t laugh at ‘they weren’t exactly invited’. |
