YOU ARE A LIGHTWEIGHT
YOU ARE A LIGHTWEIGHT IN A HEAVYHITTER’S WORLD
The magazine I bought today calls to me
from the back seat of my car Kate Moss
adorns the cover This summer she will
marry Jamie Hince my favourite rock star
While I sit here in draughty hallways at my
alma mater writing luminous poems on mud
grey early Spring days Jamie is in The Kills
and has an Oliver Twist face
Allison his riot girrrl bandmate said: He will make the sweetest of husbands
I know all of this because I spend more time
reading glossy mags than chasing after that
oh so illusive Can Lit gravy train Truth is at
this stage of the game I’d rather be a rock star
than a 2 bit Can Lit poseur for sure –
