Let me lay it out for you:
a rural photography competition in a local town hall
and the woman next to me,
sitting with her husband and two children,
had travelled three hours to be there.

I heard this poem read on the radio. With ‘Let me lay it out for you’, the author had my attention. It rewards hearing it in full.
