city grows younger as I grow older
city used to smell of smoke
and cars, but now the air is full
of fake smiles
emanating from phones
that one no longer
dials: and yes, the
young are still beautiful, but they
have their own scars ..

apocalypse
everything has to come to an end
but does it have to be
on a friday
we have fish and chips
but does it have to be
on a friday
we have fish and chips

london bridge
I returned to the city that did not
look as old as I recalled the victorian
railway arches that were
the tunnels that ran through my life

just ducks in the park
so now we’re a couple of old
pensioners
sitting in the park feeding the ducks,
reading the newspapers,
aware that the international situation
looks bad
and trump’s america has changed
sides of bread on which we muse and question
our choice of sandwiches
from tesco’s,
I’d have preferred mine with
french mustard, she says

an unclarity of meaning
bloke in the café
said he’d met W H Auden
just before he died
said he’d met W H Auden

an unnoticed life
undemonstrative in manner
he nevertheless felt deeply
about his wife and quite simply
said nothing, except to her ..

throw away poems
here’s me hurriedly scribbling as many
poems as I can into a notebook
and who knows what will become of them and
I’m tired and
there’s always the waste paper bin

probably miss one or two
my poems have always been
ephemeral and I might try
to save a few but in general they were
always doomed to die

John Lennon
could have been a great
old bloke
if he hadn’t been murdered
imagine him bald
and having a smoke
outside the pub
when you could no longer
smoke inside
my head
I imagine what if Lennon
hadn’t mattered
but he did and he
still does an old chap in the pub
says
