never did much good with my life
except reading and writing and loving
where this poem
might be going ..

Robert Herrick

read a biography of herrick
it was pretty dull
whereas his poetry was
pretty beautiful

what do you mean it’s not poetry

the best thing I ever wrote
down your phone number

the common streak

perhaps we’re like fingerprints
unique
but without its effecting one’s everyday
existence we’re much the same
so to speak ..

beautiful

my wife has done wonders with
the garden
it looks more beautiful than ever
just by her being there

afraid I was in that sort of mood

chap in the pub says
are you going on anywhere after?
I don’t know

turns out he wasn’t talking about death
but a party he’d heard about

cue embarrassed laughter

a poem

as I get older people
get fewer and fewer
