    From a Weekend First
    Paul Farley
    One for the money. Arrangements in green and grey
     from the window of an empty dining-car.
     No takers for this Burgundy today
     apart from me. I'll raise a weighted stem
     to my homeland scattering by, be grateful for
     these easy-on-the-eye, Army & Navy
     surplus camouflage(偽裝) colours that seem
     to mask all trace of life and industry;
    a draft for the hidden dead, our forefathers,
     the landfills of the mind where they turned in
     with the plush(豪華的) and orange peel of yesteryear(不久以前),
     used up and entertained and put to bed
     at last; to this view where everything seems to turn
     on the middle distance. Crematoria, multiplex
     way stations in the form of big sheds
     that house their promises of goods and sex;
    to the promise of a university town,
     its spires and playing fields. No border guards
     will board at this station, no shakedown
     relieve me of papers or contraband(走私貨):
     this is England. Nobody will pull the cord
     on these thoughts, though the cutlery and glasses
     set for dinner are tinkling at a bend,
     a carriage full of ghosts taking their places.
    Now drink to slow outskirts, the colour wheels
     of fifty years collected in windows;
     to worlds of interiors, to credit deals
     with nothing to pay until next year, postcodes
     where water hardens, then softens, where rows
     of streetlights become the dominant motif
     as day drains, and I see myself transposed
     into the dark, lifting my glass. Belief
    is one thing, though the dead have none of it.
     What would they make of me? This pinot noir
     on my expenses, time enough to write
     this on a Virgin antimacassar --
     the miles of feint, the months of Sunday school,
     the gallons of free milk, all led to here:
     an empty dining-car, a single fool
     reflected endlessly on the night air.
