I’d like a black poets’ suit single breasted poets’ uniform a suit & where would I acquire the suit I now desire?
Is there a specialist tailor dressing the bards of our nation so similarly selecting incorrectly the size skilfully artfully adding angst ridden creases
Around the thighs Shaping bulging pockets As if a tome of verse Had just been removed and ensuring that the sleeves Were roll-upable For pub gigs
I’d like a poets suit in black well weathered from earnest waiting nay celebrating rail sides in winter & the last train home
I’d like some Doctor Martens black & comfortable for performing in and neutral fashion wise in the eyes of those that look beyond the book
And I’ll wear them With my poets suit My white(ish) shirt & splendid spectacles & not only Will I look like a 'poet' But I'll feel like one too
