agatha, I’m sorry! I said. ..
look, I’m getting to an age where I almost
fancy miss marple!
not that I’d read too much into it if I were you,
although I think I always did ..

Nottingham
The martinet conservative
will claim they know about the state
whereto the rich the poor must give
to guarantee a happy fate.
The rich, they say, know money best,
and that is why they need your tax
for keeping merry men oppressed
and living in rude tents and shacks.
But Robin Hood had understood,
long before any Marxist did,
that tax was for the public good
and not just for some spoiled kid.
So go and check your dusty books
to get your money story straight
from Marx and Robin instead of crooks... ...

it’s just how it is
phone’s died,
so tomorrow I’ll get
a new
one doesn't
mean
to sound
quite
so heartless,
of course

he didn't really want to get to know her
the young couple in the room
was empty
empty bottles empty glasses
he couldn’t see
through
whatever it was that she was hiding
behind her was a book
he’d never read
her
and her bloody books ..

pickwick papers

open
a bottle of scotch
and sits back
to relax
on a coach

Workplace Lunchtime, a Haiku
Eating tangy sweets.
Reading Agatha Christie.
A half hour's joy.

I am PAR
Hello! I’m PAR, a gentle soul
with a penchant for birds and books.
While I may not be the most conventionally
handsome guy, my heart is as big as the sky.
I may not tower over others,
but I stand tall in kindness!
Well, let’s just say I’ve got a cozy dad bod.
A warm shade of hazel fits my eyes,
like the autumn leaves.
A bald character!
Comfortable and practical.
I prefer flannel shirts and worn-in jeans.
I lose myself in the pages of classic
poetry and blood epics.
Ask me about my favorite book, ...
with a penchant for birds and books.

The Sammelband Dream
I saw two dark volumes of ancient text
with their cover boards in a collate twist
and old water damage that left them flexed,
which is just the thing no scholar can resist.
They were under an old magazine stack
of surplus National Geographics
and a Britannica set, on a rack,
with an undiscovered script of Sapphics.
They were the totem midnight mind précis
of all the old books I will never read
or quick scan on a literary spree,
were I an immortal cranked up on speed.

Send me a text
Sent me a text
My lover read Demon Copperhead,
out on the headland, his eyes -
voracious beacons of light.
He was eighty, uttered sonnets in the local pub,
orchestrated Shakespeare in the gardens of his home.
My lover lent me High Fidelity,
one Winter when the snow fell so thick I sunk boots
into the depths of Suffolk plains.
I read it between coffees,
in a record shop that reminded me
of that place I had no reason
to ever return to.
My lovers gave me collections for my birthday,
ones they thought would...

cliches are occasionally allowed
like to be alone, so why go to the
pub to sit there quietly with a
book ? because you’re “never more
alone than in a crowd.”
