A bearded academic
Retired, honorary
Asked me what I did
At his university
I said I’d
Never heard of
That university
Does it have nice trees?
How is the light
Behind the leaves?
He kinda
Lost interest
In talking to me
Found somebody else
In their third degree
And I stood
By the fire
Escape with a gardener
Would I like to see their zine
Of monsters from inner space
A kind of ball point dystopia?
We filled our
Coat pockets
Little cups of champagne
I posed for
Rough sketches
On the lawns
Moist with rain
That Barry
In the statue
He was a bastard
Back in the day
Still standing
With pigeon
Crust tears
Down his face
I can't believe
All these sandwiches are free!
In the garden of
Earthly lights
Clinging softly
To the leaves
