Heading east on the redeye

To the city of lobster and lesbians

From a town where there were none

(Truthfully I just couldn’t see them)

My England is a long way from here

My new England is coming in to view

And so is my

Unencumbered self.

Today I sipped my Nespresso

Before sunrise

In my home beneath the mountain

I shivered with cheeky glee

And wondered

What right do I have to be this happy?

With no one to blame

But myself.
