RAQUEL

 
She never came to Hyde in person
We had to make do with her deerskin bikini
And running from dinosaurs
One Million years before Jesus
The film, and the poster. She was
Miniaturised in Fantastic Voyage. Stood up
For herself in 100 Rifles, Hannie Caulder
I liked her in Westerns, her shirt unbuttoned
There were questions about her politics
And if she had come to Hyde
There would have been a few of us
Holding up placards about Vietnam
But I’d have kissed her, if she’d asked me
