Sunday morning

ay the Quay market

sounded exciting to a small child'

In reality it was crowded, off-brand stalls

selling shoddy goods to the poor

who couldn't afford the shops in town.

Mum bought me the doll I wanted

but when I held it, the face

was just a piece of floppy plastic

and nowhere near the animated sneer

of the stallholder who declared

"No refunds allowed."
