and for the record,
no one thinks they're pretty
when they rain

so cry your ****** heart out,
and snort around the trough
whilst you’re covered
in mud.

Just let it all remind you
why this poem is
absolutely pointless.

And so are you,
and so am I,
and so is your dog
you love so much.

Because all we know
is the point in which
you start breathing,

and that eventually
you’re going to stop too,

so do something decent
with the middle
won’t you?

Life is a tax-man, indeed.

I miss the waves
that kiss shore
like the hair that falls
to greet your body

but when your
here with eyes
transfixed on
the night

and I get the
pleasure of
seeing it

nothing seems
so bad.

O' baby-faced days,
where kettles hum contralto
and stoves sing "Pancakes!"
Nothing beats a cup of tea, and a lovely breakfast in the morning; oh how British of me.

I would do almost anything
for you

Except watching the door
clip the back of your bags

knowing I could have done
something about it.

If you've never been in one,
the irony of
road traffic accidents
is this:

You see them all the time,
hear about them everyday,
you drive past the wreckage
engulfed in flames

yet, they'll never happen to you,

...right?

my mother would tell me:
'Don't rest on your laurels,
for tomorrow isn't promised.'

and I guess she had a point.

So sincerely
   do I miss

the face you make
away from me

as though I
   can’t see

just how much
you’re smiling

when we’re
    out driving

on the
homeless roads

under the
candle-lit stars

on this
    romantic escapade

I wonder what all
the greats would
think of this generation

and how their
morality

only goes as far
as the
breakfast
table

before it
eats itself.
