To A Typical Townie

You lack the inner stillness to appreciate Traces of beauty dipped in sun, stars and moonlight. You are so distracted by more trivial things, Like ghastly celebrity fashions and gossip. Perhaps, you should start attending art galleries And attempt to read S. Path's profound poetry. But I can't see that happening anytime soon. Hartlepool's sordid bars might cheer you for a while At least, but you lack the light and grace of peace. You'll never escape the modern, miasmal gloom. As for me, I suppose I will continue to Compose odes to sweet Love that few will ever read.
