Replying to a comment on:
The copper man and Labrador (Free verse) by Caducus
Somewhere on Mayfair pavements
amongst the flock of drones,
a jelly necked vagrant
lay dead on polystyrene,
dressed in shadows from Versace
and copper they flicked.
His Labrador licked him,
then changed from gold to blue.
Barking and biting at neon reapers
who took away his master
muzzling his grief.
Embedded in the vagrants palm
was a medal from King George.
The pauper box is planed.
Lets just bury him
he's shrapnel for our conscience
and I'm late for my meeting.
