ACROSS THE ZEBRA:

In the sun between the flats, a row of perky shops
re-enforced with steel shutters. Vans parked up with
dusty boots for the best cafe. Shave my head & hood me,
give me something hot & sweet, and something Big &
Saucy,
“Do you want it in or out?”
Leave your money on the counter, tips in a glass
under the till. Radio playing in a back room, tabloid
on every table. Telephone is ringing, pick up & do a deal.
The original sauce on thick crusty white, Red & Brown
in plastic. The news is Sex, Money, Bad or Sport in this
collectors Historic Edition.
