Today, on Day 678 of the daily poems, our poet Colin Hopkirk proffers a pub-observed poem – a Found Poem in which the poet has constructed, from overheard words, a coherent piece of free verse.
Originally
they came from India
and so did a lot of the words
all the way from from India
a lot of them
even the ones round here?
the Pikeys down the lane?
originally, yes
from India
or maybe Pakistan
it could have been Romania
