If You Want To Dig
if you want to dig
then i will give you the spade
a home, shed,
a place where you can spend your days
if you ever strike
i will give you a factory to picket
if you want to travel
then i will give you a ticket
picking at a world which you do not understand
a world of unknown quantity
if only if you could touch its hands
James Garratt – September 2005
