“He is a dreamer; let us leave him – pass.” Julius Caesar I.ii.24
Strident philosophers at Hyde Park Corner
Poor buskers at Queen Victoria’s feet
Chalk artists remaking the pavement as Rome
A Seventh Sister with her folk guitar
These are not dreamers passive in their beds
Or supplicants awaiting permission:
They are the worker bees; they know of pain
And sweat, and sunstroke in the fields - and truth
When a sidewalk artist notes that the Ides
Have come, Caesar indeed should turn to hear
