from Opening Up

Weekend: a country custom, a century old,
English in origin, secular, elite,
depended on railway schedules for its ritual:
breakfast in silver warmers, tweeds till tea,
tennis or croquet when there was no hunting,
dress for dinner, billiards after port,
later, adultery in upstairs bedrooms.

– Peter Davison (Poems, 1957-1995)
