A cold wind shakes the SUVs ...

It's half term - pristine SUVs are parked outside Sainsburys - 

In The Salt Pig, Tarquins ask for sourdough bread - a woman wearing beautiful tweed leafs through a Dorset Life - there are no seats left for the Crossword Gang - 

That evening, near an ATM, I see a young beggar, sitting cross legged upon the stained pavement - 

His eyes are downcast - 

He's nursing a tiny puppy - he's cradled it under his shirt - 

There are small coins in the cap before him - 

I'm wearing a thick coat, with a keffiyeh wrapped tightly around my neck - 

A cold wind shakes the SUVs - 

The gentle town becomes a cruel arena -
