One of the first Spoken Word pieces that I recorded in early 2021 which is part of an evolving and continuing series. I wrote it in 2019, while on top of the X4 bus. A well known commuter bus for workers, students and county lines employees. I remember the view I was gazing at as I wrote about rib cages, It was across to the Nene Valley Way as the bus trundled along the A45. You hit an age and you reflect on what has passed and what might still be.
