Hugh Thomas, author of most recently Heart Badly Buried by Five Shovels very quickly responded to my call with this excellent version of the poem.
What can you do with a banjo
there are a number of directions to proceed
when you’re lazy and the moon is full
what others might do with
the brain’s proud smoulder
I'd love to see
the smoke-like tendrils of thought
plus some commentary
I'm wretched and lying
I'd love to see
inside my head
never fully closed
or some radical departure from it
I never regret
what you did
what does that mean
If you're interested in
sweet midnight words
just do some work
or something more final
