they weren’t always that dark, nights
streets were never really that
dark thoughts were all in my
head and in my eyes
were neon lights and
lamp posts of a city around which
I once used to walk

stream of barely consciousness
the rhine, he maintains, is far superior to
the thames in every way bar one chap says
then pray tell us what it is always the
bloody same with old blokes down the pub

old bloke in the pub stuff
thought the old bloke in the corner
was unable to hear their conversation,
being intimate, he chose to ignore it,
but he heard right enough ..

in the café, he observes
seems like
those who start wars
lose in the end, no matter how
long it takes
for them to be served
I can wait

long it takes
for them to be served
I can wait

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
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
in the pub I say there’s
always the door

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
those who stare at their phones
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 ..
