Still Waiting
The sun is not out but the market is still too warm, too humid.
Sweat trickles down my back.
A man with Tourette's curses the air, marching up between fruit stalls and cheap fashion towards Loughborough's famous Sock Man sculpture.
Strawberries three punnets a pound.
still waiting
the pregnant woman mops
her brow with her sleeve
