on time

Rough old seaside town
When not putting on a front
Can be quite charming

n.b. Brighton, if you were asking. Yes, I know it is a city now, but not when I first knew it.

on light

amongst happy throng
one woman cries her heart out
rainbows come with rain

n.b. Oblivious of the calendar, I travelled to see family and friends and discover that Brighton Pride is set for the same weekend.

This means a lot of relaxed people, a lot of extravagance and flamboyance, a very large number of police.

So many people having fun, dancing. One young tearful woman being consoled by her friend. There will be hangovers.

on stage

is not for money
it's about giving a show
out there, being heard

n.b. I think this band are a bit different. I greatly enjoyed their set at The Hope & Ruin, Brighton on 5th August 2022. Something of The Fall about them, or DC Fontaines, but different. You have been warned.

on time

four decades since this
dingy seaside town was home
we have both moved on
