you’re not going are you today to the edge of your seat to the corners of insanity? to the corners at the cinema nearest the exit to run off when the demons come to sleep in the day below your bed so the rabbits cannot find you; and then go for a walk in the cold of the night mumbling like Lady Macbeth maybe now running a fast-food restaurant and asking each tree in your garden : Would you like some manure with that? you’re not going to Extremity Town today, are you? to tell the Mayor he’s taken extreme measures opening an animal sanctuary; would he please open an abattoir instead? Oh you’re not going are you to the bus-stop with a stopwatch to time how long it takes for the passengers to **** the driver? Oh you’re not going are you in the day or this evening or anytime tonight to see if Jimmy the car mechanic has diversified on your insistence and if he now sells in his garage lingerie and toothpaste for that special night and salads and beer and peanuts for first dates only O you are going to have a good quiet sleep aren’t you and you won’t offer any surprises to the world? not today?
