I wish you could have seen it lass,<\/p>\n
Standing at the side of a huge ship as they knock the blocks away,<\/p>\n
For a moment it seems like the ship is still and the world is moving.<\/p>\n
The drag chains squeal down the slipway in a cloud of smoke and ferrous dust.<\/p>\n
A vain attempt to check its speed as the stern enters the river,<\/p>\n
A huge wave pushed to the opposite bank<\/p>\n
And we all stood in wonder,<\/p>\n
Every single time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Days of wonder then petty insecurities,<\/p>\n
Followed by swagger and poise and missed opportunities<\/p>\n
Then down the other side on polished runner,<\/p>\n
Faster and further from invincible summer,<\/p>\n
Crashing through the brief autumn blaze,<\/p>\n
As you scream from salad to vegetable days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
