The borders of my world seemed set to last forever ...

This afternoon, my mum swept the patio - 

She swept the tiny scraps of moss onto the lawn - 

I remembered helping her clean the house in Palmyra Road - 

I'd held the Hoover nozzle as though it was a Dan Dare ray gun - 

Whiskers, the ginger tomcat, lolled upon his couch of newspapers -  

For a treat, I ate ice cream whilst watching Tin Tin before the news - 

I watched the rocket head towards the moon - 

The borders of my world seemed set to last forever -
