RED WHITE
Today is no different just
longer than yesterday ever was
It lingers like the aftershock
of ginger in the mouth down and out
Trick or treat tents without
tent poles and international flags for sale
What colour is the union jack a foreign
student asks the salesman
They’re red white and blue son the
flag shop barker replies laughing at him
Can I have a blue one asks the
student holding out a ten pound note?
The blue ones are more expensive
me old china why not have this one
He shoves a small red white and
blue union flag into the student’s hand
That’ll be just nine ninety nine
- there you go – give the man a penny
