This morning
surprised by
Maoist Elvis
in the post box
having ended
his long march
from Germany
to R C A Victor
his Cold War
gone to Fever
& Stuck On You
he left his boots
at the studio door
& swivelled into
a corduroy shirt
Reconsider Baby
Blue Suede Shoes
& no false starts.
Elvis in his army days?
ReplyDeleteExactly. I saw the photo and immediately thought of Maoist China.
DeleteWonderful! In China he is known as Maowang, Cat King.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob. That may spark another poem.
