Dream

Policemen run past me
to sloping riverbed.
A man has lost his mooring -
a stretcher slipping into speed,
a car with brake failure.

'The thing is, this is someone's life' -
the water inpenetrable.

I should / could jump in
but my clothes ...

-

In a queue I surface beside Barney / Bartie (?)
'Hey Mab,' 'Thought I'd repeat last week.'
He shakes his head. I reach for a bottle
of silver liquid - beer? Have no card
to swipe through.
