look
always thought I’d die in bed
and if there’s another war
I won’t get up
to anything
except holding my pillow
and reading my book

a beautiful flawed man
forget your antipathy to fox hunting, which
I share myself, he felt more abhorrence about
the Great War than anything else, but he wrote
some of the most ordinary, perfect poetry
I’ve ever read he was homosexual and he lived
all his life heroically, with fear and in dread

turns out we’re the romantic comedy ..
for our thirty first we went to the pictures
but it was a really creepy film and
even though it had hugh grant in it was
nothing like notting hill

catullus was a party guy
if catullus had had access to the internet,
how much more roman society might
have suffered the insufferable gossip that he proffered
a glass, from which we’ve all drunk ..

personal comforts
politics can be awful if things don’t
go your way read british library
crime classics, and for breakfast,
I’d suggest, hot buttered crumpets ..

greater concentration is needed
I don’t enjoy long poems
whereas I can read a novel
of five hundred pages or
so long as they stick to the plot
but a poem requires
greater concentration from the reader
and the poem and the writer
could have cut quite a lot

the only time
I’ve seen a hedgehog once, peering
out of the overcoat
of a homeless old man in chelsea, and doubtless
not his natural habitat ..

and so to the pub, for a stiff reviver
there was something at the back, although
whether of the house or of his mind he
couldn't tell anyone, of course, since no one else
had lived in either ..

a fear of falling ..
trying not to panic, I look at other
people on the street seem perfectly
calm is cast as the predominant
feeling out of touch me and I’ll scream!

pub and poetry
content to be alone in the pub with poems by whomsoever
you like
rambling around in my head
and yet to be fair I’d rather those that I like
to take the occasional swig from my
pint ..
