I (HEART) IPSWICH

Everyone in Ipswich is here on business
Nobody lives in Ipswich
Everybody lives in hotels in Ipswich
All the men dine on their own in Ipswich
Ipswich is one of the most beautiful places in Britain
Ipswich is a beautiful place to do business

Everybody comes to Ipswich to do business
The Ipswich Quayside is filled with yachts
The Ipswich Quayside is beautiful at nightfall
Business is done on Ipswich Yachts
Men dine alone on the Ipswich Quayside
Everybody comes to the Ipswich Quayside

Nobody ever stays long in Ipswich
I don't ever want to leave Ipswich
The Ipswich Quayside is full of business
Ipswich is not a beautiful place to me
I dine alone on the Ipswich Quayside
Nobody comes to Ipswich to stay

ECHOLOCATION

for SM

This was our way of keeping in touch.
Touching base with the time.
The time I had woken before sunrise.
Sunrise today is at 07.33.
At 07.33 you were frying eggs.
Eggs were eaten at 08.10.
08.10 in two separate counties.
Counties that yawned the country open.
Open the curtains, 08.22.
08.22, clocking off.
Off into the day like a train.
Trains of thought that spirograph back.
Back out and back into the dusk.
Dusk, 16.14, and a prayer to home.
Home, where it is just gone sunset.
Sunset today is 16.36.
16.36 and I go outside and watch bats.
Bats echolocate here and in Yorkshire.
In Yorkshire are you hearing this?

LANCASHRING

for BC

Riding out of the ice crevassed rock.

Horwich, Buckshaw, Lostock Parkway

Every station stop is business.

Buckshaw, Lostock, Horwich Parkway

Midnight misting across like hail.

Lostock, Horwich, Buckshaw Parkway

My hands were lost in a mobile's light.

Horwich, Lostock, Buckshaw Parkway

Headlit motels at a taxi's halt.

Buckshaw, Horwich, Lostock Parkway

Fox eyes stared from a terrace window.

Lostock, Buckshaw, Howich Parkway

Railways unspooling from under wheels

Edale, Chinley, Grindleford, Hope
