there was a time in the rain
Do I feel anything now?
with a blue snooker ball tattoo
on my arm
well fuck that
today
well
them
there
is
a new start
new air and sky
today
out there
today
I saw someone one
a man
calling the commander
on an empty beer can
out there
okay
walkie talkie
use a bottle of
Sprite
as a communicator
yesterday
Will I feel anything tomorrow?
will there be any souls to steal
free-wheeling through the street
in a shopping cart
yesterday
it all went tits up
best
laid
plans
well fuck that
try to play
backward
scrabble
go
on
it’s taking the piss it really is
there was a time as well a time
you know
when lap dogs knew their place
there was a time in the rain
