Inscription description

discarded piles of satsuma skin sit /easily peeled / miniature Sunday sculptures / you thumb the corners / I scribble, furiously / a love note is a manifesto of sorts / faces, written all over / poems may not change the world / but they can ache / for the inevitability of it / the future's owned by you and me / that's all pulp / no fiction/ so who are we to argue / with quiet revolutions of the heart / By Ashley John www.lookup-portsmouth.com
