LATE PERIOD BRITANNIA

I take it all personally
The factory closures
The parent hitting the child
The price of fish in the market hall
How they look, laid out, on ice
President Nasser’s decision
To nationalize the Suez Canal
The British bombers
Targeting his airfields
Supported by the French
What they are going to feed me
These people, in Arthur Street
Joyce and Wilf. The Aldermaston
Marchers. Colonial
Independence. The murder
Of Grace Archer, timed
For modern television

Anthony Eden’s breakdown

They sent him to Jamaica
Where James Bond was written
