News from Nowhere ...

We walked past barbershops where Asian boys had their hair sculpted into strange shapes - 

Youths ordered chicken wings in sleepless eateries - 

All around us was Walthamstow - 

Diners ate Sunday roasts inside The Bell - 

Late night convenience stores sold lottery tickets - 

We were walking towards the William Morris Gallery - 

Soon we would see beautiful fabrics, beguiling images, sumptuous books - 

The visionary artist would inspire us with his works and words - 

More than ever, I thought, there was a need for News from Nowhere -
