"Characters"

"Characters" By Marcus Cooke

Today the
character sleeps
Put away
like childish things
lost down
the back of the sofa
with the
dust ridden penny's
and the dis guarded
Bic bio pens.
Today
I’m going
to be a real person
I'm going to buy you a pint
and pay you to like me.
Everybody loves a character
Characters are safe
So today is the day
i am going to stop being a character
And be a real person.
We are all characters,
dancing in society's wake.
