You won,
well done,
you son of a gun.

Pirates or primates
a tail or the sail
but it's Moby
who gets my vote
the greatest white whale

At the crossroads
I am calm
no harm shall befall me
and then She calls me
to ask
did you get the sliced salami?

It'll be another night
on top of the duvet
pushing away
the heat.

The rain comes on in
it's Summer
and what else but rain?
later
the Sun will get a look in

I went out and got a book in
one with lots of pages
each page with lots of words on
except that first page which is blank
wonder where those words have gone.

and because it's Wimbledon
I also got a ball
I'm going to bounce it off the wall
and pretend I'm Steve McQueen.

As the night comes
and the light goes
when you feel slow
and
it takes you more time
to know what you know

when you breathe in
and it feels cold
all you ever want to do
is to hold
and to hold on
but the light has gone

and you're all on your own

does it feel like

can it ever
be the place that
you'd want to call a
home from a home

and the night's here
and you can't see  
and you don't feel
but there's no fear

there is nothing at all.

So
if you want to remember things and other things and stuff
get a memory stick and ask your Doctor where you should stick it.

Someone
offered me an olive branch
not a friggin' olive on it.

A chance encounter with a random number generator,
a bit brief thought, Trevor Howard, and felt sure it wasn't
in the script.

Yesterday
the heat was sweltering
but
I was ******' sparkling.
