The Guardian is my grandfather
The Guardian is my grandfather
of cricket scores among reports
by weighty words [delivered by
an other paper boy] – My round
took me at six AM to richer hills
out of town [Telegraphs]- A full
sack of information slapped on
my thigh – I sped for £2 a week –
I’d take Grandad’s broadsheet
from our hallway before eight –
whilst [in other news] Dad read
a first edition Evening Standard
over a slurping bowl of soup – I
now take my ‘paper at all hours
in my palm – I have not handled
a news sheet in too many years
