Catherine Devereux Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Catherina Deveraux


It was a Sunday in August, late at night, there were many rats
eating left over from a chippy
when I met my informant, she said the revolution was imminent
they were going to take over the town of Faro.
I warned about it in an email, and it was ignored,
Catherine a famous French star warned about it a few days later,
while my email was ignored, hers became a runaway success
And that is the difference if you have named the public
listen, if you speak the truth as an average Joe you will
be utterly ignored, but then I`m quite used to have an opinion
more illustrious figure adopts that is pleasing.
