Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...
"Exhibiting Bizarre Behaviour"
I looked out
There were flowers
I stepped out
In my nightdress
It was dark
But yellow flowers
Showed in the darkness
I only meant
To pick them
I didn't mean
To worry you,
Nurse

Scat (a logical) Poem
if I could belong
to another
species
I'd be a plant
or a tree
or anything
that didn't
pass faeces
or pee
to another
species

To A Past Affair
Thinking I'll miss you very much
If I knew which one you were
I'd really love to keep in touch
If I knew which one you were
You're the only woman for me, as such,
If I knew which one you were
I'd love to share it all, go dutch,
If I knew which one you were
Thinking of leaving my door on the latch
If I knew which one you were
I wouldn't have to sit & watch
If I knew which one you were
If I knew which one you were
I'd really love to keep in touch
If I knew which one you were
You're the only woman for me, as such,
If I knew which one you were
I'd love to share it all, go dutch,
If I knew which one you were
Thinking of leaving my door on the latch
If I knew which one you were
I wouldn't have to sit & watch
If I knew which one you were

Paddington Station...
anonymous, he disembarks
and heads for any old London bar
and thinks, "if I collapse
and die..."
and drinks
to each strange passer-by...

I get it
I get what you're saying
but then I forget it
and carry on playing

soho in the morning...
the silence creaks
with barrows and feet
depositing crates
on the pavement:
dried mushrooms, black beans
and Chinese tea;
inside the shop
I smile at the attractive
assistant...
