In memory of PM from my bro
Where, Why, Who: The Prisoner
Were you around in the sixties?
Did you watch as it soared highed above the kitchen sink herd?
Thunderclaps and a speeding sportscar
Numberplate: KAR 120C
Patrick McGoohan the free agent resigns to more thunderclaps,
His file stamped with crosses and the word RESIGNED
Driving fast by the Houses of Parliament,
Back at his own house packing things
Then, through a keyhole, the spraying gas
The free agent is out like a light
Awakes full of questions in a happy land of riddles and strange architecture
'Where am I?' In the Village
'Whose side are you on?' That would be telling
We want Information, Information, Information
'You won't get it!'
The threat -
By hook or by crook....we will
Patrick McGoohan, trapped in the Village
'Who are you?' The new Number Two
'Who is Number One?' You are Number Six
Bright striped canopies, penny farthing badges on blazers
The great white balloon surfaces, no escape
Down in Portmeirion, the Village with steel bars
'I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN!'
Hearing laughter as he punches the sky in anger on the beach
