how it was ..

the shops used to close
around five o'clock I'd go
home and wait for the pubs
to open at seven ..

why does it have to hurt ..

death is only the stopping
of the heart and yet this    
can occur in so many  
   
agonising ways that I wish  
death would always come with  
its own anaesthetic ..

scary place ..

what can you do when some bloke        
in the public convenience gets aggressive  
whilst you're standing there with your penis hanging      
out apart from piss in his face ..

how many fish will it take
to keep a rabbit in its hutch  
without a petrie dish as  
such placed under its feet ..

looking out of the window ..

watching the robin splash around                
in the bird bath in the garden whilst it's raining                
I smash a plate and a cup whilst washing up in the kitchen                
but hey, it's exciting ..
