The Press

Memories of when I was in newspapers

When it’s in motion its

deafening clatter will

mesmerise you if you

stand still and listen; but

when it is silent

the great room seems to sigh.

And in the yard the vans prepare

to course through a city’s anatomy,

deliver to every capillary

nutritional gossip and rumours of wars.
