Does she deserve an OS key,
so often junction point -
did we read ‘Up the Junction’ -
found titillating bits?
As permanent as trig point,
outstanding, clear for steer,
anachronistic signpiece,
a clock without a chime.
Tardis, flight machine she’s not,
a unity, time, place, stage,
but she is reassuring,
our parents knew her place.
Perception of our mindset,
in fifty shades of grey,
but blazoned here like scarlet -
she wears post office red.
But let’s be honest, do we post,
except by touching buttons,
and we’ll not hear, ‘How was your day?’
unless we ping on stop.
In first days of the penny post,
so stable during Wilding,
but Queen matured and Machin clayed,
but we now wait the outcome.
