I went for a swim
at the Crystal Palace National Sports Center.
They were holding the Public Schools’ Fencing Championships in the gym.
I felt like I had a walk-on part in the movie IF.
And I thought about Lindsay Anderson at the top of the hill in 1953. Acting in James Broughton’s film The Pleasure Garden. Playing a ‘toff in a top hat.’
Outside, in the park, two bitter-faced women were exercising a pair of Pit Bull terriers.
