! Poem For David

The thing is,
a poem 'means' what it means to each reader,

not your poetry teacher,
not the guys who call themselves critics,

it's democracy come at last to the toffee-nosed
haughty-cultural world of the arts

so don't ask me what this one means,
you tell me, OK? that's if it means anything

oh did I forget something
ah yes the poem

sorry I seem to have forgotten
what I was going to say
