3 Cops Vs 1 Poetry Fan
The cops pulled up on the street
Of ill-repute today & got one to
Take back to the station to end
Their shift & as I walked on by
Passing the smack-heads out
Begging & the shoplifters nicking
I turned to see who it was the
3 coppers were man-handling & I
Couldn’t believe my eyes as
I recognised her face & remembered
Once her telling me ‘your words
Really talk to me’ at a poetry gig
And I just couldn’t imagine what
She’d done to warrant such a
Response from the usually invisible
Cops in blue.
