Possibly you've seen them in shopping centres,
talking to themselves, or so you've thought,
but they are novelists
at the end of a long journey
chatting to their characters.
You're right to be sceptical -
after all you can't see who they are talking to -
you'll see them later when you read
the tale or it is turned into a mini series.
By then they may be on the best sellers list
at the bookshop along with a news item
how the novelist, so well-respected and of
good family, was taken away from
a shopping centre recently and incarcerated -
a complete breakdown, talking to everyone
and no one, including watermelons and celery .
Poets on the other hand . they turn up
at the checkout with empty baskets
and are amazed no one can see their items.
