Mire

Part of me the worst part wanted to tell you

of the day I went into the supermarket

-it's not even a supermarket it's a minimart-

just drifting about for some snacks and

a drink a voyage to the bright lights

at the top of the road

I came face to face with a tower of Lilt

-let the record show this is a popular carbonated pineapple & grapefruit drink-

and that 55p pop was your elixir but

oh-oh-oh I'm not your doctor now

Sprayed with a chlorine quake

buckled from a donkey kick

& clutching my heart

comme un maiden victorienne

Turned about and teared away to the bus stop

not home anywhere but home and

Part of me the worst part

may choose to wear this catastrophe

as a badge
