Ian Bowen - Only Life*

Ian Bowen - Only Life*

Now the church bell br never quite reached double figures br as childen sing in assembly, br before maths and history. br br Out on the neat streets, br the eyes of the village watch br the swinging, straw baskets br to and fro the shops... br br were the grocer sliced ham br as thin as you possible can. br The baker's apprentice br injects jam into doughnuts, br while dreaming of the flowing curls br of village, teenage girls. br The coalman delivers nineteen bags br at number twenty...cheat, br kicked the last on with his feet. br br In the library, br a copy of Lady Chatterly's Lover br is moved onto the top shelf. br by a lady in tweed and sensible shoes. br br The local policeman, leans on his bike br and dreams of a post office raid, br his picture in the paper. br br Not much happens here... br br only life.
