Battersea Cyclical Encounters
29th May 2023
The Battersea Bridge access to Thames Path
Cute cyclist meets human at the narrow place
Back in the industrial age
The path was used for towing the barges
Wharves still bear the colonial names
Of the goods plundered all over the Empire
In today’s consumer’s kingdom leisure is the industry
Bikers, joggers and electric contraption riders
Race around wearing their strange distinctive space-suits
