To Mcca's Shirt[1]
You arrived washed, ironed and lightly starched
Stars and Stripes on the label: 'Broadway and S... S...
Assumed had bought you back from his just American trip.

But you weren't my style. Too flash for a schoolteacher
I left you in the laundry bag and squirrelled you away
Forty years on I re-read the label: Esquire ... ...

May 1960, the Silver Beatles on tour with Johnny Gentle,
T... ... in Scotland, ... a the right, and the lane
of the Sanforized shrunk imperth? in the Esquire shop.

Though never quite living up to the promise of your name,
at least you appeared on stage and realized your dreams.
Felt a sense of history causing through your seams.

The alternative ? Shop lifted by a teddy boy from Alloa
for the dance at the Town Hall, Lipstick on your collar,
Sweat a your extras? and blood on your cuffs.

To and up here, the Carapax of a silver beetle,
pinned down under glass would have beam with inKable,?
A shround,? ghostly, Sanforized and washrinKable.?
