The price of a mug

Lived in a small village Of which we will see A fair way from town But someone to be Aiming to try and understate To understand not undermine And to be free To pick up a road through the town Into work Into office or boozer or Library shop Newspaper round and cinema Ironmonger and motor Someone's sister had a car She parked on the hill She was sex in her car In short skirt tight shirt Jacket on her back Made of leather Lined with fur Ringed hands knuckled on her wheel And her ankle’s playing with a Buckle on the other side Of the battered skin of a Leather boot bearing no Resemblance to the boot Creaking under toes of The other foot Her knees are never static like A spark is never still though always in one place Tight up in her skirt Sitting in the low seat With the car's door open A new song on the radio And the blues in her heart © scribler 2004
