never did much good with my life
except reading and writing and loving
where this poem
might be going    ..
read a biography of herrick
it was pretty dull
whereas his poetry was
pretty beautiful
the best thing I ever wrote
down your phone number
perhaps we’re like fingerprints
unique
but without its effecting one’s everyday
existence we’re much the same
so to speak     ..
my wife has done wonders with
the garden
it looks more beautiful than ever
just by her being there
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
as I get older people
get fewer and fewer
