The Prominente ...

We saw two of Wareham's prominente late this morning - 

We were walking along the river, on our way to Redcliffe - 

There they were, fishing from their mobility scooters, bearded and barrel chested, warmed by the autumn sun - 

They were at their ease, sharing salty gossip, rolling cigarettes with blunt yellow fingers - 

I wondered if they were old Navy men, who'd seen icebergs and frozen stars - 

Later they would have a pint of Exmoor Fox in The Kings Arms - their younger selves would dance upon the water -
