Local Colour Poem by Douglas Scotney
Local Colour
Rating: ★5.0
I believe
that 2 crossed cues on a shirt
suggests more in France
than the X or the + or the 2 crossed cues
that it suggests across 'the sleeve'.
I believe
that a rooster
on, say, a flannel
says more in England
than it says across the channel,
where,
and I'm not having you on,
I believe
a mob of dickheads
is une bande couillon.
