It's not a goal, as such, more like a corner or a throw-in,
but I wish that I could be in somebody else's poem.
It would be fame of a sort, though not a fame that can be sought;
it happens by chance and is in another's hand....
or perhaps it could be planned!
Can it be so hard to locate a versifier?
An unsuspecting bard, the kind that won't inquire
into my raison d'etre and ultimate designs,
I only want to get her to let me in her lines.
Yes, I'd prefer a "her", I mean a poetess,
a Carol Ann Duffy, whose name would impress
when I dropped it casually in company,
"You know that bloke who killed the goldfish, that was me."

I'm out of faith and in my cups
I contemplate such bitter stuff.
