Little Black Book (2000)


no-one famous came from Kingsbury

"there's no-one famous came from Kingsbury," said the pretty girl -
and as one man the whole Tube carriage leapt
and pointed at her

"Courtney Pine," we said

her face stayed blank
but pretty.
"Who?"

we sat
and silence dwelt the whole way home
with echoed
distant
saxophones.
