Having attended another simple but significant memorial service yesterday, I’m trying out a new nom de plume on an old poem…
Break in Bulk
A break-in-bulk point is a place where goods are transferred from one mode of transport to another, for example the docks where goods transfer from ship to truck.
The thriving town
Between power and sound
Grows rich on the bounty of friction
Til supplies and demands
Across foreign lands
Slows to a trickle of fiction
 – Babe Simple, 1973
Oh. Concise and evocative!
