Tattooed
The morning smells of lemons;
there are dreams and paranoid whiskers
embossed by numbers, known
or unaccounted.
The newsroom gurgles bubble words,
the politicians, industrialists, and matinee idols
create those bubbles,
tattooed by campaigns and advertisements.
Those of us who are inconsequential,
a politically correct synonym for forgotten mistakes,
count our dreams,
and gradually the numbers efface.

| An intriguing poem, Debs, merging realities and surrealities like slipping and shapeshifting skins. Tattoos, unlike the stats of "us", are not easily removed... but so often we are no more than bubble-speak and need the graceful existentialist reassurance that "I am" as provided by the sharp-zested perfume of the morning's lemon. I speak "far out" cos this is... makes me think of Syd Barrett for some reason! :)) Thanks for sending! xx |
