ABOUT POST NOMINALS

'hey listen

 i got letters after my name too'

 i say to the room

 of doctors

 & scientists

 & chancers

'ten of them

 if you count
 initialised illnesses

 & i do'

SABBATH OUT MY EARS

i cant remember
what the old lady
on the bus
was telling me
but i know
i told her
to tell it
to her sons
& her doctor too

thank you for listening to me

she said / tiny voice / wet eyes
i nodded / smiled / got off

it was long ago
she must be dead now

&

i hope she knows
i took sabbath 

out my ears 

for that
