The Forecast For Lovers


Scatty showers will be seen up and down North Street
with blonde spells along Western Road.
Outbreaks of heart-stopping beauty will occur in the Lanes,

and young men may be overcome by the heat of their ardour.
Powerful gusts of love will be felt along the seafront
and rollerbladers are advised to check their equipment

before giving each other the eye.
Spells of high pressure in the trouser department
may be expected near the nudist beach

leading to swells out at sea, but these will give way
to bouts of melancholy and possible heartbreak on the Downs.
Further inland, commuters wending their long way

to the metropolis will suddenly feel the weight
of their journey dissolve as a great wave
of summer seaside romances

sends a huge love-ripple towards them,
transforming the landscape they travel through
to bring a warm front of passion to the grey streets of London.

And all because a butterfly flaps its wings
in the garden of Open House where two lovers
watch its idiotic flight and smile and kiss each other softly.
