July 2024 Collage Poem: Walk the Walk
Boiled ham skies for a man in a
demob suit reflected in glass
Heart founded in tragic stories, a river
of endless tears
Arriving at Bradford Interchange the
Martian General remembered he had
not bought toilet supplies
Walk the walk right at the door
I am travelling the wrong way
on the escalator
ascending to the dark side of the moon
IS THAT OUR DEPOSED PRIME
MINISTER, OR IS IT A MARTIAN?
The days are all too much in this square root
of loneliness
Plasticine girl – could be shaped into
Anything she would wish
Happy dogs and Martians at the night club
Missing the last bus back from Bradford
eating too much ice cream
ONE REFLECTION OVERLAPPING THE OTHER
IF SOMEONE ACTS CRAZY I KNOW NOT TO LOOK
HELLO DARLING I KNOW YOU WANT TO…
