THE OTHER HALF


 

Things to do in Kensington

while waiting for a daughter:

Order a plate of salad

and a bottle of mineral water.

Walk down a cobbled mews in the dark

And wonder if, given the money,

You'd find anywhere to park.

Watch a little rich girl in a French beret,

and a velvet-collared, tailored suit,

on a silver scooter speeding away

with her golden braceleted mother

in overheated elegant pursuit.
