Morning, Kingston-upon-Thames

Over a pedestrian street
hang Christmas swags and switched-off lights.

An occasional customer
checks the dresses in John Lewis.

By the church a bearded loner
shouts, 'That's all I know about it!'

Claws of cloud strike at the blue sky:
pigeons scatter, hair gets muddled.

In the small museum Muybridge
shows the breadth of San Francisco.
