Tamar Toll
Liz Manning
Like some discount Hotel California
They make us pay to leave.
Like prisoners out on licence, we’re tagged.
The institutional racism of Janner charging Cousin Jack
(There’s no border payment for Knobs
or Summer People on the other side).
Oh, you can use our hospital, Kernowick, if pay your dues.
You can come to university, for a price.
You can commute to work, for a fee.
We all know there’s places further up where you can cross the border unnoticed.
No one watches the A30 they say.
You can slip across from Boyton to Northcott and no one would know.
You can negotiate the north coastal path in broad daylight.
But you want to come across convenient, direct
from the Gateway to the Muff?
That’ll cost yer.
