Octopus's Estuary

In an octopus's garden withyou
As thewords trailed offand I left the building
I found myself thinking of Anthony
Then Isstarted to run to thetaxi rank
My heart in mymouth
I remember someone saying if youever think ofhim
youshould get out quick.
Ihailed a taxi got in and said elephant please
as we pulled out ilooked inhis mirror
And saw fire.
