INTRODUCES HER HUSBAND
An outrageous sort of bloke --
handshake but doesn't speak --
all that mattered nothing,
and mob mind surface consciousness --
visiting out of a blackness --
who's heard rumours concerning himself;
naturalisation of provocative remarks,
incredulity banging ceaselessly like information.
The vocabulary of recognition's essential,
the future of many words constructed
somewhere in a hedge of confidentiality
resorting to whole sentences,
a flood of understatement swamping
a turn of phrase and willingness.
