I’m cheerful in the morning Then the clocks tick over into another time zone I hope that the phone does not ring Because if it does I know who it will be I can hear the snake in your tone Like a smile that doesn’t reach your eyes The voice with no face I sit rigid while the others speak down the line Yet you signal me out Making me feel like a sparrow amongst the doves More than friendly emails More than friendly offerings Telling me to keep things Just between us
There is nothing to keep.
You are a poison across the sea And try as you might, you cannot affect me.
