\ncertain someone if bumping into them again
\ndidn\u2019t prepare me at all
\nfor someone just looking quite like that \u201ccertain someone\u201d
\nwalking in and disturbing the reading and my beer.<\/p>\n
\nthe scene of our last great failure, I stepped onto
\nsome daffodils
\ndying in a window box on the sill. It was then my fellow drinkers
\nsuggested the title \u2018If it\u2019s New Daffodils to be Dying in May\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nan interruption making clear
\na simple lyric poem
\nattempting an escape from a simple lyric poem
\nin recognising quite a few have been taken in this way.<\/p>\n
