Andy Warhol at my Grans.

Andy Warhol at my Grans.



The Campbell’s soup can sat

At the back of the shelf in

The pantry cupboard.



I picked it up, stared at the label.



It was over two years six months

Past its best before date.

There was a slight dent on

The left hand side,

Up high near the rim.

The label was torn and faded,

All the signs of a hard life.

I wondered if it was art or soup.



I put it back to command its space

Next to the Brillo box.

A couple of real icons,

Just like my Gran.
