Cod and chips for six ...




The northern girls handed me my cod and chips for six - 

Paul had ordered mushy peas - 

Last time, we'd queued up inside -

I'd been in deep cover -

A southerner amongst tarry fishermen -

I'd leaned against the tiles -

Nervous in my tweed - 

A foxed Cavafy in my pocket -
