Multicultural Vespers
"i like muslims",
whispered in newfangled vestry
for Viv might anger.
(She's said they'll blow us up in Leominster.*)
They won't, though, for Leominster is small,
bigger than London Bridge
and they're not strangers,
for all love us here, the veiled ones too.
"I LIKE MUSLIMS",
I venture, for Viv's not bothering.
A veiled lady sits beside me.
Vespers now.
