Camelford man

watching him
as he made his way
up the hill
slowly wandering
from side to side
of the pavement

eating, devouring,
a pasty*
relishing, enjoying
this Cornish delight
consuming, devouring
as he progressed

his other hand carrying
a six pack of lager
his afternoon organised
great time beckoned
football with friends
or loneliness and TV the reality?

he passed on by
up Camelford hill
totally unaware
the thoughts that passed
through me about him
young Camelford man


* Cornish pasty(Hogan pasti): with thanks
