Poem #2,763 | Luke Wright in a Sussex Fishing Shed

A man at that poetry reading
turned to me & asked if I too
had written any – 2,700+ was
my response [published in a
random national collection –
& to be found in America – in
some pamphlet] – so ‘yes’ – A
reply sent – numbered [& left
to float between us] – anyone
can do this stuff – write verse
by coupling bright words – us
vowel-sellers turn tricks for a
filthy-minded audience sat &
ready for dirt – Some do it for
greater rewards & some do it
for an assurance of likes only
[it’ll depend on which drug] –
My irregular fix is sweet ‘nuff
& best left unsaid – no shows
