Scouse athletes spar on the unmade road
I walk along going to work,
on the ridge height of a western Cornish town.
I wonder what bought them so far south,
why they're training full pelt for urban armageddon
that won't reach them here.
The boxers humorously regard me as I pass,
an unguarded soft lad unready to compete
in any upcoming contest.
