arrest in this hype joint     have you tried
hospital food? because     i’m feeling like
a bag of string right now     if you don’t collar
the jive you’ll     feel the physics     random

quit the pop band white horse because
getting our sad on in     such simple
bold compositions was     all gong no
dinner & ode to cracks     discovered upon
a power station reactor in     south-west
england proved to only be the start         initially you were
     all wisteria snagged by a     wait-a-minute thorn
bush in big foot county     bright red clusters
bare winter branches your distinctive
signature     was upon the road to wanker’s
doom     then got word of
fist city velvet fog     checked your nerves & were all
about that         something germinating around the

the worst     bright lemon yellow stained
scorched     cramped i paid for
the coffee     rather than drink from
the fire hose     because all that lickety-spit
extolling of a city     upon the hill got     me dreadful

into warm cluster attrition     & they’re totally chill about
giving the cat another gold fish &     renewing your royal purple
