INVISIBLE BLUE PLAQUES

someone or other
lived &
died here

some other someone
wrote their most
famous work there

every so often
a blue plaque
informs us

as we journey
through town
(rain falling down)    

of Blah Blah who blah’d
& blah’d here or was blah’d
there... who cares?

in my mind
I ***** invisible
blue plaques

to commemorate us

here: we kissed
(did we not?)    
...a mere minute ago

here: we turned
& laughed on
the corner of this everyday road
road

here: we laughed
& hugged
on a pedestrian crossing

(a pedestrian
crossing)    
whistling at

our ardour
a taxi honking
at our armour

all over London
our invisible
blue plaques

commemorate
us &
that

we once
passed this way
so deeply in love
