178. Sedimentary, my dear Watson
drumlins & moraines
all over the living room carpet
laccoliths & lopoliths
in the kitchen
with the unwashed tectonic plates –
yes, it’s a veritable smorgasbord
of geological fancies round our gaff
and a U-shaped glaciated valley
on the doorstep –
I told him to get in line
behind the moho
& the pyroclastic flows
or there’d be
trouble at’mid Atlantic Ridge
there’s a bit of a rift already.
