In the veggie cafe,
He sits infront of her,
Telling her like it all is,
Like she doesn't know.
He thinks she looks revolutionary,
Kindred spirit, with
Newly cropped hair,
Big Doc Marten boots, but
She's just getting ready to jump.
A dice with death let's say.
What do you want she asks
Smash the government, he replies
fist demonstrates his depth of feeling.
They both need healing,
Something to change.
Next week sees him running round
Knocking on doors and shouting
For someone to join him,
Help him
She's in the back of a landrover
on the way to an airfield
where she'll see the sunset,
Four thousand miles up.
