Parking Bays
David places the cones
at military distances
of old-paced equality
and makes sure the sign
which reads Funeral Today
is visible to all
It is a one way street
and not overly used
but it’s best to be sure
and there is nothing worse
than the blackened hearse
having to double park
Later in the day I watch
the staggered procession
of roughed-up mourners
making their way to church
on that road which has seen
the dead of Uckfield parked
