WHAT´S IT LIKE LIVING WITH GEORGE ?


he´s a man without contours
a man of just corners
no fluidity
just knots of barbed wire

is this because of some great injustice
wreaked upon him ?
no
it´s just george´s way of expressing himself
of dramatising his little problems
yapping and giving out little cries

george suffers from absence
george is not there when he is here
when recalled, when one insists that he turn up,
a maudlin prisoner shuffles up
or an old queen in a pique pouting
petrified in painted styles

george misses his mummy
but that´s so many long years back now

lord have mercy on george
lord grant that he may take himself up
