THERE PROBABLY ARE
You wish there were really elves
And faeries and enchanted woods
And magical things in the mist
Somewhere beyond the high street
But you know that there aren't,
Don't you - no of course you don't
You don't know any such thing -
Except that there probably are.
And faeries and enchanted woods
And magical things in the mist
Somewhere beyond the high street
But you know that there aren't,
Don't you - no of course you don't
You don't know any such thing -
Except that there probably are.

"Pigeon Post"
Why don't the people in this city like us?
It isn't us, they just don't like pigeons in general.
They say we crap everywhere.
Isn't that an urban myth?
Actually, no. We do crap everywhere.
Isn't that natural? Where do they do it, then?
I don't know; I'm not sure people do crap. I tend
to think that they regurgitate, like owls, only instead
of bringing up pellets they deposit their stuff in
paper bags or plastic containers, which they vomit
onto the pavement.
That's pretty clever.
It's the clever bigots that...

Leaf
i'm a leaf, but it's autumn -
and I've fallen
people say, how pretty you look
in your brown and your gold
but I'm old -
and I'm dying...

I'm a mess
today, I went into work
determined to be myself
before I knew it, of course,
there I was, playing the fool
I watched myself doing it,
felt myself out of control

"It's Now In The Hands Of The Police"
Pink & wet
The foreskin
Rolled back
Me naked,
They clothed
In blue
Picked up
Searched for what
Drugs
I can't
Imagine
I'd keep there
The foreskin
Rolled back
Me naked,
They clothed
In blue
Picked up
Searched for what
Drugs
I can't
Imagine
I'd keep there

"Exhibiting Bizarre Behaviour"
I looked out
There were flowers
I stepped out
In my nightdress
It was dark
But yellow flowers
Showed in the darkness
I only meant
To pick them
I didn't mean
To worry you,
Nurse

Scat (a logical) Poem
if I could belong
to another
species
I'd be a plant
or a tree
or anything
that didn't
pass faeces
or pee
to another
species
I'd be a plant
or a tree
or anything
that didn't
pass faeces
or pee

To A Past Affair
Thinking I'll miss you very much
If I knew which one you were
I'd really love to keep in touch
If I knew which one you were
You're the only woman for me, as such,
If I knew which one you were
I'd love to share it all, go dutch,
If I knew which one you were
Thinking of leaving my door on the latch
If I knew which one you were
I wouldn't have to sit & watch
If I knew which one you were
If I knew which one you were
I'd really love to keep in touch
If I knew which one you were
You're the only woman for me, as such,
If I knew which one you were
I'd love to share it all, go dutch,
If I knew which one you were
Thinking of leaving my door on the latch
If I knew which one you were
I wouldn't have to sit & watch
If I knew which one you were
