Free Fall







Imagine my shock

When I found that the world

Had closed for a day

Shut like a shell: Shut like a shop

Right up, for a day and a night

My basket useless, my money

Valueless as sugar paper

No shops - no props

The day caves in aboout me dangerously

The street heaves into nightmare

I alone in a dead world

Oh if the street would wake

Into the six mile smile

That sustains me as a prayer

Sustains everybody here

But the world is shut!

There are no props: No open arms

No shops!
