COMMON PEOPLE
…
… … …
The common man is hidden
He hides
Society once dressed him in grey
And navy
But now out of the magician’s hat
Badly free
Punctured skin and stored notes
NHS notes
Honey bee hives, sweet and gammy
Political votes
Enter the torn horse kicking gaily
A New Daily
Opinion shattered, warming sugar-sweet
A viral horn
TV people collecting crushed data, ice
Overpriced
Nature as usual, nothing much said, led
Red river-bed
Back down in the verdant silver valley
Money talks

I’ve been in the attic, I’ve been in the cellar, I raided my notebooks – I’M HAVING A YARD SALE – It’s a Car Boot – THEY’RE UNFINISHED LINES, unfinished poems, POEMS THAT MISSED OUT ON PREVIOUS RETROSPECTIVES, good ideas, maybe BAD IDEES, inspiration, OR JUST GOOD TITLES, MISFIRES, abortive attempts – IM CLEARING THE BACKLOG – opening up the storehouse, come on in! – I’M MILKING THE PAPS – so mother-writer’s milk might flow on through!
