Ho Ho Ho, Through Crack's In The Snow
Dam dirty pint
something didn't taste right
i guess i was staggering home
past the fences and gates
past infinite gardens and gnomes.
As the snow takes me
my body become numb
the sound of mariah careys
no 1 festive ear-fuck
"all i want for Xmas is poo"
is still ringing in my ears.
I succumb to the feelings
of Xmas dread
snug in my "Marcus" shaped hole
in the ice.
i just want to go home
that would be nice.
Fantastic light and shapes
steal my attention
i seep through
cracks in the snow
i could resist
but i want to go.
I awake on my bean bag
in the kitchen
snug with my
trusty trench coat
acting as a blanket.
A small hand touches
my forehead
i open my eyes to see
two young eyes and a
and a Thomas the tank engine
breakfast bowl
thrust in my hand
"Breakfast now daddy, breakfast"
i smile "home sweet home"
I am a Chris Rea motherfucker
in that bloody "coming home for Christmas"
song that Ive heard at least
33 times in the last 24 hours.
But i don't remember arriving here
how was this possible?
the logical conclusion
must be that i somehow walked
the 3 miles home
operating on some sort
of higher, primal instinct.
but who cares, I'm home
for Christmas right?
Once again i seep
through cracks in the ice
cracks in space and time
through microscopic wormholes
and splinters of the mind's eyes
through muddled words
and broken rhymes
and once again i awake
in a "Marcus" shaped imprint
by the roadside
its Baltic out here.
Snow buzzes around me
like a thousand angry bees
which is the dream?
is this the dream or this reality?
but here is the strange thing
dear reader this hole i woke
in is 3 miles away from where
i started.
what the fuck?
Where did i go?
or did i indeed fall thorough
drunken crack's in the snow?
