Papier-mâché - a free-form poem from a fragment of conversation...

Written as a flow of consciousness one night after a train home late from Truro. Straight out, a few mins.

The words from a commuter about papier-mâché ... led to a poem, a glued-together observation on certain relationships perhaps...

No intention, no 'thinking' really, just a flow..

- and the surreal yet everyday noticing - of a man and his box of 'Finest Medjool Dates'...and another man incessently curling and uncurling a sticker around a metal bar between Redruth and St Erth Stations.
