So

So

Reading Ginsberg
Sunflower Sutra ‘55

I can talk to my mam about this

She met my dad ‘round ‘52
Worked at Rowntree’s
Married in ‘56

Best years of their lives, they say

I don’t blame them

Seven or ten years after...
Well, you know what happened
Lest we forget
And we will...

Sunflower Sutra
Goods yards in Frisco

Digs in St Mary’s
Over the bridge from the engine shed

I’m humbled in its reading

The world won’t be the same
In our time
