It's up for debate
Parliament sitting late
but the horse has bolted
and
it's too late to shut the gate.

They talk, but we know
that they blow hot air
they don't really care
it's time for that lot to go.

Monday and time to pay for your weekend
bleary eyes?
call in sick, tell the boss lies

not me
I'm as fresh as a daisy,

skeletal because I worked my fingers
to the bone, got home,
had a glass of wine,
and time to sleep,

now, I have a day free, which doesn't come
with terms and conditions.

She
may have other ideas.

Lipstick to void. She is a race against time. The beveled past a disruption in her lines of influence.

Travel is dangerous, and tonight it darkens the highway of blood vessels coursing through her extremities. She wants to be luminous and under the skin.

While Dorothy dreams of tornadoes in Kansas, she dreams of remote climbs in lesser Glasgow, of party drugs in Tokyo. How many lights does she see?

In her hair are sixty circuits. But she waits, religiously inclined on the hotel bed. She drove through ghosts to get here wearing nothing but Las Vegas.

So strange at this hour, in a city full of sleepwalkers for the taking, she now dreams she's a bulldozer, she now dreams she's alone in an empty field.

Seems like the closest
that I'll ever get to Manila
is licking an envelope.

Reason being,
the flight is so long and my time may be short
and I wouldn't want to be caught dead anywhere
other than in familiar surroundings.
They fell
we fall
some build
another wall
for them to
fall off
again.
When the world ends, which will probably be after a commercial break.

Not to put a damper on it, but we are not likely to know about it,
one minute we'll be here, the next, somewhere in the atmosphere and that's only if there's still an atmosphere to be here in.

Yes
times do look grim, the lights are growing dim and dim as in
the politicians that we've elected to lead us and where does that leave us?

back to the atmosphere
and
not one postcard saying
wish you here

Called in those
Town and Country Removals
it
didn't work

still in London
still in England.

feel cheated.
West Ham United play at home today, sadly I won't play at home today because I must work, I don't know about the wolf but working definitely keeps the Lamborghines from the door, maybe the wolf is watching West Ham.

I'm getting
an old Ford Prefect, perfect, a bit suspect, but what can I do?

just saying
a bit of praying works wonders

oh yeah
they said that about Double Diamond beer
and that just got me ******
