I’m crossing the road
Part of a crowd
Hoping to get a good view
When a mini cuts the corner in a screeching fury
Tony Blair gesticulates
Swears, spit flying
Bangs on the steering wheel
He is missing the beginning of the Royal Wedding
He abandons the car -
Door wide open -
Walking stiff legged and
Doing up the buttons on his wind-snatched jacket
The Queen will be cross
The papers will have Headlines
Blinking back hot tears, he is
Passing cheering children who are happily ignoring him
