Iconic. It’s one of those media buzz-words coined out of some personal conceit like ‘magisterial’ some years back or ‘superbabe’ or ‘uberdiva’ to indicate a class beyond class but though, yes, ikons follow you with their eyes round the room, like a B-list babe spotting a press photographer – once done, they’re copied for centuries by wannabees and less and less well, until some hep-cat thinks up something new.. so, mmm, I’d quite like, me or a poem perhaps, to be called ‘iconic’ just once or twice in the broadsheet press or glossies - just once or twice only, without having to live up to it by being kinda dead
