| She shares a poetry page with me, She shares my name. She writes in a different style to me, But, pretty much, the sentiment's the same. I wonder how old she is. Could be daughter, mother, sister, twin? I wonder how tall she is. Could be ginormous, fat as a bus, stick-insect thin. What does she do with her time? Does she have family or is she alone? Is she planning the perfect crime? Does she talk dirty on her telephone? Is she a temptress or is she a mouse? Is she some kind of right-wing nutter? Is she an adventuress or bound to her house? Does she prefer margarine to butter? Is she all dots where I am dashes? Is she an enigma or plain as paper? Does she have incredibly long eyelashes? If we met would I like her? Is she a duchess or dowager? Does she drive a big old truck? Does she have lots of facial hair? Does she believe in luck? Is she my ally or my nemesis? Does she recognise the "Poets bond" Will she know where I’m going with this? And will she reply and respond? « return. |
