Outcast Poems

Poems were from 2005 to date. I do regular readings at “Sparky’s Flying Circus”, Half Moon, St Clemence, every Thursday evening, and every other Tuesday “Anything Goes at Mangos” downstairs at Mangos, Cowley Road. Both near the Plain, Oxford, both start at 9pm. If you are around call in, have a beer, listen to some poetry and music. Come and read your own or play us something if you want. It would be nice to see you. Outcast Poet

THE INTERVIEW SHOW

Suited and booted
Ready to go
Off-peak return
To the interview show

Ask me no questions
And I’ll tell you no lies
Dark blue suit
In a room full of ties

Tell them a little about your self
Show them enthusiasm
Not lack of wealth

Hear yourself talk
Much too freely
Hear them say
“You did that, really?”

Should I have said this?
Should I have said that?
Should I have even mentioned?
Susan’s Cat

Interview over
You shake goodbye
Head full of doubt
Time to get out

Light up a cigarette
When you hit the street
Back at the station
The sun shines on the nation

On the train
You start to relax
Try not to think about
The un-paid tax

Back at home
All alone
A bottle of red
Then off to bed
