The archaeology of eating's a strange thing;
our lunching in London
was fishfinger modern
like the plates on the placemats
but by just clearing the topsoil,
exposing the rock, and firing a fissure
through the layers of history,
we found we were still working
the same old "bargen"...
at mealtimes at least
Mam would summon us
for our suburban fare at five,
for that was expected of the wife
of a man for whom the rock was his life,
and some habits are as resilient
as those purple "dychis" and "ladis"
that were ferried formerly from Dinorwig
(although our family
had long since been driven
from their famine kitchen "bargen"
a and decamped to London
where stones of another ilk
could be split like silk...)

as they scrape the bowls...
