What if Jack went through a different door? My idea of hell on earth She’s in your people you might know her names polly pixie dust all one word It was harder holding on than letting go My want blocked out all the hurt Got carpet burns I was so low Dragging myself along the dirt. Baby we’re in a jam I’ll preserve all my feelings It’s all a bit sticky **** maybe you’re just healing? Instead of you climbing up the walls Maybe climb onto my **** I’d pick you up I’d make her walk on all fours Polly pixie dust doesn’t have to exist One click of the button and it’s case closed You know how hard it is to resit Licking the sugar and syrup When it’s covered over both your lips Baby we’re in a jam I’ll preserve all my feelings It’s all a bit sticky **** maybe you’re just healing? Baby we’re in a jam It’s all a bit sticky Preserve what I have Find lust in the city I could’ve been a man But instead acted ****** Baby we’re in a jam.

Polly Pixie Dust
You are my lullaby, A sweet little birdsong. You are my lullaby, Soft and strong. You are my lullaby. You outshine the morning sun. You are my lullaby, You are my mirthful fun. You are my lullaby Your smiling eyes shine true Oh, my little lullaby, How I do love you!

My Lullaby
A car arrives in the drive and stops outside the front door all the servants are there and George's parents wait there all importantly watching the car door the chauffeur gets out and opens the back door and George back from the hospital for shell shock gets out and puts a hand over his forehead to block out sunlight then looks around the grounds around the house his mother steps forward and takes his hand welcome home George she says George stares at her he nods but doesn't smile he looks into the faces of all those standing there by the front door as if amongst strangers his father moves forward and gently takes his son's arm George moves forward uncertainly his feet unsteady his hands shaking slightly his eyes move over the servants wide and staring then he stops and points to Polly Polly he says softly almost a mumble she gazes at him uncertain what to do the mother looks at Polly come help Polly Master George recognizes you and indicates with her other hand that she should come   so Polly walks to George's side and says nothing but smiles at him and he smiles back we'll go to his room the father says a footman takes the bags and follows George and his parents and Polly inside the house and up the wide staircase the other servants including the butler Dudman move away from the door and go about their tasks Dudman goes in and stares at the party walking upstairs slowly and sighs Polly has overstepped the line as far as he is concerned he'll have to watch her he muses watching the party disappear from the stairs and gives the absent Polly one of his cold stares.

DUDMAN'S COLD STARE 1916.
A car arrives in the drive and stops outside the front door all the servants are there and George's parents wait there all importantly watching the car door the chauffeur gets out and opens the back door and George back from the hospital for shell shock gets out and puts a hand over his forehead to block out sunlight then looks around the grounds around the house his mother steps forward and takes his hand welcome home George she says George stares at her he nods but doesn't smile he looks into the faces of all those standing there by the front door as if amongst strangers his father moves forward and gently takes his son's arm George moves forward uncertainly his feet unsteady his hands shaking slightly his eyes move over the servants wide and staring then he stops and points to Polly Polly he says softly almost a mumble she gazes at him uncertain what to do the mother looks at Polly come help Polly Master George recognizes you and indicates with her other hand that she should come   so Polly walks to George's side and says nothing but smiles at him and he smiles back we'll go to his room the father says a footman takes the bags and follows George and his parents and Polly inside the house and up the wide staircase the other servants including the butler Dudman move away from the door and go about their tasks Dudman goes in and stares at the party walking upstairs slowly and sighs Polly has overstepped the line as far as he is concerned he'll have to watch her he muses watching the party disappear from the stairs and gives the absent Polly one of his cold stares.

Polly polishes George's room as Gripe had told her. Rubs the polish cloth over the sideboard into a bright shine. Polish smell; sniffs it; sniffs the cloth. Rubs again, another surface. The window is open; fresh air enters, blows curtains inwards. She hears birdsong from outside. She pauses polishing; goes to the window and peers out. Wonders where George is. How he is doing in that hospital with shell-shock. Across the Channel war is on. Men being killed; men driven mad with sight seen. George said about seeing a head gazing at him on trench top. She bites her lip; wishes he was back home. The Master's son; she a maid. He and she making love in his bed that last time. Wants it again; warm in his bed; him kissing her. His moustache tickling her to giggles, shafting her to a seventh heaven. She walks back to the bed and lies down. Imagines him there; knows he is not, just lies and stares at the ceiling with that deep down lost feeling.

DEEP DOWN LOST FEELING 1916
I pulled them, I snipped them off, She loves me, she loves me not, With each pull a muffled scream Then the snip, Deep terrified Agonizing scream Pain, Blood, Bone, Then its thrown on the floor, One of many, not many more to go, "Do you love me" NO "She loves me not" Another one broken, then left till The next one is snipped off, She thinks is she the only one? Looks behind, To see jars labelled loved me not, So many before, the same question "Do you love me" "No you do not" He called them his petals, But where was the stem they had come from, He came to find her still, The question asked "Do you love me" YES "She loves me," "She loves me not" A petal did not fall upon the floor He looked with head at an angle, You love me? After what I have done, She smiles through the pain, I always did love you, I needed to see how far you would go, With that he slowly undid the straps, A bandage for her digits missing Now lying blooded on the floor, She had seen it behind, He had give her a drink, "She was so close to being free," He had a look in his eye, As she turned   She heard a different rhyme "Miss Polly had a dolly" "&" "Its" "Head" "Fell off" Last words spoke, as no digits removed "Instead a head rolls along the floor" A stem lies bleeding The face frozen in shock As the head added to the heads fell off jars,
