Jim yes I see it -I did wonder who Charlie was -a passing stranger -a
friend perhaps-or maybe an alligator
In our place one does not towel down Vile Boris (not if you value your arm
or are wearing heavy duty protective clothing
Thanks P
Standing on all that news get dizzy

Subject: Snap - towelling Charlie
yesterdays newspaper
spread out on the floor
where Charlie drips
onto a poisoned Russian
familiar news reread
while towelling him down
more lives lost
more lies told
in the utility room
the paper stretches
from door to door
and in the corner of a page
a fiendish su doku
waits to be rescued
Jim
