same streets
mid victorian london saw dickens
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep

think nothing of death
old man sits at his desk
with his cigarettes, his papers, his books
and his scotch, but
no clocks, no timepieces
whatsoever to remind him
of the time he has left
with his cigarettes, his papers, his books
and his scotch, but
no clocks, no timepieces
whatsoever to remind him
of the time he has left

sure
the only way out is
death says the bloke
in the pub I say there’s
always the door
death says the bloke

a fear of falling
positioned myself
where I thought the gap between the
train and the platform would be narrowest
escape I’ve ever had

on what one eats
I’m more savoury than
sweet
prefer bacon
to cakes
apparently everyone
bakes
but I’d rather fry
eggs

careless
continually struggle to avoid
those who stare at their phones
as they stroll down the street
devoid of all spatial awareness

as they stroll down the street
devoid of all spatial awareness

I was watching that, but ok ..
old black and white films from the ‘forties
and ‘fifties are my thing is
she much prefers making love on the sofa
and I’m easily convinced ..

life goals
the thing about football
is it’s just twenty two players on a
pitch kicking
around a ball on yer
head, my son, oh yeah get in
there, mate, yesss!

childish things
never liked swings
out of control
as he pulls it even further back from behind
me, a scared kid
on a seat
held by strings, I mean blimey ..

out casts
guess I’ll die before I ever see
a duck billed platypus in boots
at the theatre there simply aren’t
the parts is the usual excuse
