it hangs
to my
right
it says
“keep calm
and
carry on “
the union jack
sits behind the letters
a white crown
sits on top of them
it against my blue wall
screams its message so
quietly
maybe I should listen more
when I’m feeling down
or glum or depressed
or maybe I can’t listen
maybe I’m deaf
maybe all those encouragements
fall without a sound on my
ears
and the poster
still sits there
saying:
“keep calm,
and carry
on.”
and I wonder
who could say
such a thing
when all anyone
can ever do
is
panic
