King,
Queen,
who have you been in a previous life?

Me,
a **** shoveller
or a
groveller.

no good pretending when you know your station and I'm getting off at the next one.

Well, you know everyone's been a Pharaoh.
but
I was still me in whatever century

She says
what are you waffling on about?

but that's Nefertiti for you

We saw waves crash against the shore
an orchestra played
and in black and white films
we knew they were getting laid.

All very quaint

and then when the music stopped
and the sea became calm
arm in arm
they would walk along the beach

in the old days
they had such nice ways
of telling a story.

Warm?
really?
oh,
seal me in a box with a few pairs of clean socks,

fukin warm?
are you mad
it's been baking

someone taking the proverbial
and up in Seven Dials
Sherlock's
thinking of *****

fukin ******.

Oh not me
says he
with a halo around his waist

haha
less haste and more amphetamines
or as we say
more speed

I need a drink.

Dance like no one is watching
because
no one is watching,

they're busy rolling their eyes
at the screen,
seen it
seen it
seen it
refresh screen it
looks like rain.

I dance like Zorba
a heartbeat
slow and rhythmic
no one watches
and
I don't care.

The sound of traffic below me and a light on to show me that I don't need the light on to hear.

ah!
Wednesday and its child should be full of woe
but no,
I feel no woe

just checking the calendar in case I got the days
mixed up
and no again
it's definitely Wednesday.

My morning cup of Joe
coffee is bad they say
but so is Wednesday,
they say that too
in fact
they say
that nothing is good for you.

I woke up and no pain
so I woke up again just to be sure,
and I was right,
I don't need the light on.
