Today on the "Shadowville Mythos" poetry blog, "Stan the Nightporter in Exile" by Will Dockery:

Stan the Nightporter in Exile

In a state
of self-imposed exile
another period

Just learn to deflect
like Ali's Rope-A-Dope.

Because like the old cliché
that was
stinging in my ears
butterflies are free.

A lot of the poem is sketching images and scenes with words.

Not really well remembered since they were so highly inspired by the 1980s versions of Roxy Music and David Bowie, but they filled that demand VERY well for the 1982-83 time period....

Some very vivid memories of this era, many still need to be set in poems.
