Island Man Copy of the poem

Here's a copy of the poem just in case you lose it...
Island Man

Morning
and island man wakes up
to the sound of blue surf
in his head
the steady breaking and wombing

wild seabirds
and fishermen pushing out to sea
the sun surfacing defiantly
from the east
of his small emerald island
he always comes back            groggily groggily

Comes back to sands
of a grey metallic soar
                              to surge of wheels
to dull north circular roar

muffling muffling
his crumpled pillow waves
island man heaves himself

Another London day
