Ever since the accident I've walked this way

Most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignore most people.

Poems (1964)

Here are some happy English soldiers.
They are going to make the Irish happy.

Now God killed John Lennon and he let Barry Manilow survive,
But the good Lord blessed little Adrian Mitchell with the fastest cock alive.

May I borrow your wheelbarrow?
— I didn't lay down my life in World War II
so that you could borrow my wheelbarrow

Lovers lie around in it
Broken glass is found in it
Grass
I like that stuff
