I gave the bar-speed device away in the car park, charging cable and all,
no ceremony, the way I have always lent anybody anything.

They asked how much and I said take it.

Six weeks later they showed me a chart of their pulls.
It was a beautiful chart. They were delighted with it.
Nothing on the bar had changed at all.

I said nothing, because there was nothing to say.
I recognised the chart.
