Keeping Mum<br />
Hannah Pyne<br />
She whistled and they came;<br />
Rita Hayworth in a home-made bikini.<br />
Now she wears clothes she’d hate,<br />
fed food she’s never liked,<br />
spoken to in a way that makes me<br />
want to thrust The Times crossword<br />
at them and say See! She can do it.<br />
She sits in a knitted hell, smiling<br />
at old photos, touching the moment<br />
before it disappears beneath the blanket.
