Flying across London at night
Flying across London at night
By jfarrell
Look up, and use the stars, the constellations to navigate;
Looking down on London, at night, is the same.
The lights, of landmarks, vehicles….
When I first flew with my dragon, I was so lost.
But, look down…
The perfect ring of red light,
With a bulge of multicoloured madness below it…
That’s the London Eye (big wheel) and the Southbank area.
The elusive, silvery eel that borders that is the Thames;
Look left, look right, follow the silvery trails and the boats…
You’ll find bridges…
And once you’ve identified one bridge…
You know where you are, flying over London at night.
But I would not recommend flying a dragon over London;
I know they’re cars, boats and trains…
But Karla thinks they’re little bugs
All with with fantastic flavours….
We crashed, that first time, opposite Waterloo Station…
Taxi cab had been converted into a fresh coffee bar…
Covered in coffee beans and grounds…
Karla stood up and gave a flaming belch….
Even the cab owner agreed, coffee never tasted so good,
Roasted at about a billion degrees…
By a 15 foot chocolate bar…
I really should ask Karla to put some clothes on…
