MY HUBRIS COLLECTION
From the mud of Stalingrad
I want an artillery officer’s
Long-barrelled Luger
With matching part numbers,
An autographed copy
Of Mao’s Little Red Book,
An unretouched original
Photograph of the President
Under ‘Mission Accomplished’,
A wall map of the world
Circa 1924, smeared pink
With the British Empire,
And a pristine Plate Number
Block of ‘Forever’ stamps.
