Larkin is Disturbed

In Hull they landed fish & Larkin
& he sipped champagne [after a
fuck up by a parent – Let’s watch
Nazis parading – his father’s first
choice of destination]/ Poetry &
rhythm came early & easily/ On
to higher education & Oxford – a
failure only at military medicals
[& others not expressed – not ’til
he died – then his covert life was
dug at – sordid stuff – thrown up
in a glasshouse – set to shatter]
