why the tattoos?
you were never simply
a blank canvas
a ****** masterpiece,
upon which you’ve allowed someone
to scrawl
in the pub, reading
someone says why would you read in
the pub
it beats talking
rushed to the late night shop
but too late
it was shut
asked the bloke in the
market
where his apples were from
he said trees
said I just wanted to
know if they’re local
he said

they tend
not to travel
apparently the geese in russia
are bigger than the pyramids in egypt
now that’s proper gander
old woman holding up the queue
as she fumbles for her purse
was once more beautiful than you
and far more fitting for a verse
been together
for

so long

she says
I’m off   ..
