Desmond had decided to visit a charity shop<\/p>\n
As he had seen a book in the window<\/p>\n
It was as he was purchasing this book<\/p>\n
That the assistant a lad of about twenty<\/p>\n
Told him that he had a good British accent<\/p>\n
Which was nice as he had difficulty in understanding others<\/p>\n
Desmond who was English apart from a Spanish line<\/p>\n
Thanked the boy and said that he had enjoyed the compliment<\/p>\n
He suspected that the young man suffered from Asperger’s Syndrome<\/p>\n
Which mattered little to him as he had appreciated the gentle exchange<\/p>\n
Like me Desmond was a poet who did not like reading his work aloud<\/p>\n
He preferred that his poems were read quietly with little or no theatre<\/p>\n
And rather disliked Performance or Slam Poetry which he considered vulgar<\/p>\n
His partner Jane disagreed with him saying that poetry had no boundaries<\/p>\n
Desmond was considering this when he noticed that there were two moons in song<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
