In former times
a suburb where Nonconformists
could seek refuge from the crimes
of inner city intolerants
A place where Daniel could Defoe it,
and where others would poet (including Edgar Allan).
It’s where I went
one Sunday, heaven bent
on an hour spent
in the ancient
Unitarian Chapel
But I was to see that the services are infrequent
(Every second, fourth and fifth Sunday at 11am, in fact.)
Then, I pounced upon a tract which announced
that singer Carol Grimes was to grapple
with the works of Mary Wollstonecraft.
Sadly, I had missed the night.
Gladly, there was another notice which read,
‘Many Beliefs,
One Faith’
Too Right.
