Shaved today in honour of a new
poem
To be honest I shave most days
even the days when I have no poems
to honour
Still, I will have this ritual
It keeps a man sane
to turn an everyday chore
into a celebration
“The directness,
the levelling craic, eyeball to eyeball, the sheer pace of these poems
is exhilarating, upbeat and a tonic for our troubled times.”
