Like a gingerbread milkshake
On New Years Day
In Kensington’s Cafe

Better than a buddha bowl
In Pelham Street
Followed by Helmston’s tea

Floating on a Cloud Nine cupcake
Rainbow pastel wallpaper
North Laine by night

Purple hearted bubble kitchen
Reminiscing
A street cat as a friend

Flea market bargain-hunting
Vintage postcards and library afternoons
Volunteering in a museum art room

The euphoria of the city
Throws its arms around me
