  Text	Chilling Out Beside the Thames / Summer come, mi chill-out beside the Thames. / Spend a little time with weeping willow. / Check if dem Trafalgar pigeon still salute / old one-eyed one-armed Lord Horatio. / Mi treat mi gaze to Gothic cathedral / Yet mi cyant forget how spider spiral / Is ladder aspiring to eternal truth... / Trickster Nansi spinning from Shakespeare sky. / Sudden so, mi decide to play tourist. / Tower of London high-up on mi list. / Who show up but Anne Boleyn with no head on / And headless Raleigh gazing towards Devon. / Jesus lawd, history shadow so bloody. / A-time fo summer break with strawberry. / John Agard / Reprinted by permission of Bloodaxe from Alternative Anthem: Selected Poems (2009) / Poems on the Underground
