Trespassers Welcome - Private and Public Poetry, Fed Square, 20th Nov

Trespassers Welcome

It becomes clear
that trespassers are not
in fact
welcome
when an old guy
sits
to the side
of the stage
and starts asking questions
about poetry.


Experimental Poetry

After the gig
V and I stand in her bungalow
and listen to an old 45
of local poets.

They've been doing the same stuff
for 30 years.

We ask each other:
"Is it still experimental
if there was one experiment
then the same style
in stasis
'til a new generation of poets
grew up?"
