COAT OF LIGHT:

Here come dogs of all sizes,
Some with coats on,
Some with hats on,
Some driving cars,
It’s normal in this town,
What’s weird?

(K)

TRIANGULATION:

All the ink ran out of my pen,
Is that a euphemism?
No,
It’s ‘all the ink ran out of my pen’,
How the hell am I going to talk to this paper waiting now?

(K)

FEED ME SOME ROPE:

There’s a sign in the middle of the road with it’s back to me,
Wants me to guess what it wants,
Good morning Mr driver

(K)

WIRE WORM:

I just arrived from the other side of the world,
From a place where they don’t have seasons,
Can you imagine a place like that?
No Snowballs

(K)

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A SEASON:

In walks the girl with the ‘F’ bag,
Laughing,
She knows what she wants,
Simple and clean,
Ankles out in Winter,
But it’s not Winter,
It’s Autumn

(K)

DRIVER FROM THE 5TH DIMENSION:

You move slow towards me,
Clutching a Star Wars bag,
Glancing down through bottle tops,
A smirk on the lips,
A battleship with skin

(K)

WAITING TO BE LET BACK IN:

But even here,
Legs are moving,
Wheels still rolling,
Engines growling,
Doors opening,
Closing,
Mothers holding the hands of small children,
Lead them to schools,
And leave them,
Cold in the pit of my stomach,
Remembering,
Abandonment,
Disinfectant,
Sour milk and sawdust,
Brick walls painted Cream and Green

(K)

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ART IN THE WORLD:

Time and steam,
Condense on windows between me and a street,
The sound of traffic,
A small town concealed from the news,
Nothing to sell papers going on here

(K)

THE THREE KINGS OF MANCHESTER:

Don’t wash your face with soap,
And moisturise your face before you go to sleep,
It’s a tip I picked up from a man in Milan,
Back when I was young enough to not give a damn,
But,
For once,
I did

(K)

DON’T PUT YOUR DAUGHTER ON THE STAGE:

We laugh with the dead,
Don’t blame the jacket,
The rain,
Or the time of day,
Make yourself comfortable,
It’s inevitable

(K)
