PLAIN SPEAKING


Discarnate transport, pillarbox red,

across the sea of living dead.

Secrets whispered through a cutting slash;

incurable, the victim’s rash.


Answering, I sent a picture card;

its fractured message impacting hard.

Then turning on a headline jest,

I met myself, an unwelcome guest.


So back-to-back, torn off a strip,

conviction walls a three-way whip.

As football pools in weekly pink,

written down with pen at sink.


1984
