A Morris Minor, a caf? noir –
Banana smoothie, snails in a jar
Three dodgy sailors, a girl on skates –
A little too muscled from doing weights

A family wedding, a sushi bar –
Sand in the Seychelles, karaoke star
Lads on the razzle get lost in love
Paddington station, rain clouds above

The crumpled sheets of a long hot summer
Stored images like an acorn, drop
Squirreled away, but still remembered
by the man in the photo shop

Rush hour on Praed Street: behind the glass –
a picture process, in one hour fast
Intimate portraits of topless wives –
flashed indiscretions: snap-happy lives
