THE CROWN:

Illuminated in the rain of rush-hour,
Hissing tires roll,
Lights flash,
Horns,
Frowns,
Look-downs,
Tiny lilac skies carried on sticks,

Top-ups,
Cigarettes,
Soft mobile accessories,
Call the world for someone special,
Honey-Honey,
You’re The One,
Sat alone,

Waiting,
Waving in the corner,
Caught on camera,
Drinks water to recover,
Slicks back hair,
Scrubs up good,
Sleeps through the start of the world

Scratching an itch,
Romantic,
Wrong jacket,
Countdown to a rendezvous,
Pensive,
Listening to mouths,
Hopeful,

Smoothie cheesecake,
Watch the door,
The time,
The rain,
Wondering,
What’s up,
Telephoning,

The comes,
The goes,
The random glances,
Limited editions,
Crawl the walls,
Towards the sun,
Keep your clothes on.
