After three years inseminating elephants
But due to on-the-job pressures
I was delighted to accept an opportunity
To study the impact of Brexit negotiations on the lunch
choices of the UK’s pre-schoolers
I mean, my CV doesn’t say that.
It has an eclectic mix to be sure
Sub-editing Lime Lizard
Co-ordinating Tangible Arts
GAP Project Training Manager
Acting editor of Spain’s first national English language
newspaper
Communications Officer for a school Sixth Form on the edge
of Dartmoor
But you can see
the thread, can’t you?
It’s there in the bullet points
Where it says
Ghostwrite, edit, empathise, evaluate
Where it says
Research, read, study, scrutinise
Where it says
Unearth, explore, provoke, expose
Where it says
Scratch, stab, poke, bleed
Where it says
Do what it takes to be a poet
Live, breathe, suffer, scream.
