Lawrence John breaks the things
Which frighten him.
My love frightens him.
I know -
Because he told me.
So - it must be true.
He does not hit.
Or so he says.
He shouts & shouts.
Until the thing vibrates
So violently it flies –
Into a million tiny pieces.
The pieces are hard to find.
The pieces are difficult to collect.
They are even harder to put back
Together again.
The thing is –
Never the same again.
On national television yesterday,
Austin Powers held up a sign.
Because I asked him to.
It was small
And it was faint.
The writing was a little –
Wobbly.
It said,
“LOL BARTON
JOSEPHINE
LOVES
YOU”
It was on television.
Just for a few seconds.
Held up by a celebrity.
Or at least –
A look-alike.
So it must be true.
Mustn’t it?
