Day 678 – Originally (Hopkirk)

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
