After he left the bar (edit)
March 27, 2008
Just before he left
I talked about the song by Radiohead –
the one that
use to fly
like Peter Pan–
Ricky Gervais once said,
it raised a lump in his mouth.
I’d mentioned this
and then he’d left…
and it began to play.
Which only goes to show
coincidence alive and well –
inside of bars and random chat.
It was like the pair of gloves –
the ones we’d watched
being rollered by the tractor just outside:
The way the orange canvas
pressed against the tarmac.
You would have got
the metaphor
if you’d been drinking at the bar.
