An Underhand Working Man
Blair works
for his living?
Terry writes

prime sweet meats
meant for pies
and pastries
made by Couplands.

writes for a higher purpose.
Seen in captured word
symbols phrases envisioned.
He buys his cheap pies
cans of baked beans spaghetti.
Living off planned cheap fare
in order to purchase time; time
and money in order to write.
And Blair Peach
he’s the kind of irregular opportunist...
who will abandon friends
disappearing at 4.30 a.m. in a nightclub.
Leaving you a tired penniless
long two hour walk back home.
During time contemplative solitude
echoing; a long night’s journey;
into the dawning of stillborn daylight.
