A Boy on Austin Friars Street, Mullingar

David! David! a boy shouts,
His older sister, embarrassed,
Shoves him on to avoid a pram.

But he is insistent. David! David!
He waves at a young man in
A souped-up BMW, metallic blue.

The boy smiles a beam of sunlight,
He has been recognised with a wink
And a suave nod of the head.

The boy has been recognised,
The self made alive to itself,
By a young man, in metallic blue.
Oh bless the continuous stutter
of the word being made into flesh
-The Window-
