14,024. GRID

GRID
More disinformation; scattered
remain of falsely held propositions :
The driveway that is no more; the
place where now weeds grow; 
ghosts shadows on adjoining walls
of houses that once were there.
Building everywhere.
-
Too many weird things abound.
In 1657, it was thought that  -  tea
having first become available in
London's coffeehouses, (to the early
seventeen-hundreds, when women
were first let in)  - 'recreational tea
drinking was the preserve of
'rumbustious' gentleman.
-
The drink's 'power' to 'maketh
the body active and lusty' was
celebrated. Wish I'd had a taste
of that then. Now...the shadows
that adjoin these walls are filled
with rotating glimmers; waitresses
pushing their crumpets, and men
so down at the heels that even
their laptops won't work.
