“CONGRATULATIONS” 1 Nov 94

In the robes
and the ceremony
congratulations
I am an object - a trophy displayed
an artefact in a pathetic glass case

And you should know what the portraits say
I’m sick of the bombsite of my face
In a hall where the past closes a door
with hundreds of people
I’ll never see again
friends and strangers
