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
