Here is a poem by Carol Ann Duffy!. I have my own interpretation of it but it would be interesting to hear other's thoughts!. The one thing I do not understand is the title, 'Education for Leisure'!. What do you think it means!? Thanks!.
Today I am going to kill something!. Anything!.
I have had enough of being ignored and today
I am going to play God!. It is an ordinary day,
a sort of grey with boredom stirring in the streets!.
I squash a fly against the window with my thumb!.
We did that at school!. Shakespeare!. It was in
another language and now the fly is in another language!.
I breathe out talent on the glass to write my name!.
I am a genius!. I could be anything at all, with half
the chance!. But today I am going to change the world!.
Something’s world!. The cat avoids me!. The cat
knows I am a genius, and has hidden itself!.
I pour the goldfish down the bog!. I pull the chain!.
I see that it is good!. The budgie is panicking!.
Once a fortnight, I walk the two miles into town
for signing on!. They don’t appreciate my autograph!.
There is nothing left to kill!. I dial the radio
and tell the man he’s talking to a superstar!.
He cuts me off!. I get our bread-knife and go out!.
The pavements glitter suddenly!. I touch your arm!.
