alright

It all seems so easy

It could be you

or him or

Her that stays, then

after a cigarette

there's sometimes a daydream,

a discordant fight scene where the girls crack open

bottle tops with their teeth

And rub lipstick on

each

other

with unwashed fingers and nobody gets the

time

To find

the one

too busy with the next one

or another and

after the long night is drawn out to morning we roll on slept in sheets

in and out of different beds

in a borrowed dress, well petey sleeps in his mums dress, I prefer a nice pair of slacks but sometimes

pete and sarah wait in each others arms for

A kiss

or an insult that not been thrown yet

I hear sirens

the women are kicking out car windows

And the men are jumpstarting cars

The striking resemblance to our grandfather fades and I ask you

‘take me to the graveyard

take me to see his grave’



sammys arguement with pete sounds bukowskiesque

down the red lion
sammy loses his rag and shouts

pete, I fucked your mrs and i'll fuck you too

petes eyes cried, he put his hands over his
face and just cried

sammy was wearing reebok classics and a faded le coq sportif t-shirt

I stood there and watched
them

idiots

i carried on playing pool i was winning and about to pot the black

when

pete threw a cue and it hit sammys head

i didnt get it , all we have is
each other.

I had a bottle of port at nanas

so i left.

apparently sammy never fucked petes mrs

but just said it to put him off the darts

they made up with jam sandwiches

the idiots

another morning

just another morning of coffees and burnt toast
or so i thought
of cracked pavements and upturned stones and the regret of not seeing them
another afternooon of wasted
words
and ques and missed appointments
i was taking charles to the dentist today
when he slipped and broke his arm
we waited
waited for the nurse
waited for charles' mum
waited for all the women to come and make it better

i am henry crayons

I am Henry Crayons
my old dear called me that
shes gone now rest her soul
followed her dream and watched it play out on a super 8
I am Henry Crayons
my old man dont call me that
hes in farnham now
followed a woman and watched the romance play out
after monday night quizzes inbetween midnight snatches
of afternoon delight his dreams fade onto the forgotten pebble shores
of a margate dawn
In the Gore, the tide runs till 12 o'clock
but flows upon the land at 11, swollen
eyes of the boys on a friday night
they come back for more The marks for anchoring in westgate bay are scratched driftwood onto the teenage skin of all of his sons

sammys party

i went to sammys party yesterday
the buffet was good
i stuck mostly to wine and cider lollys
pete was sick down the side of the fridge he didnt say anything
but i saw him
so we left sharpish and got in petes pink 1969 camaro chevy
we drove backwards to go back in time
but we went to far and i saw a pereguin falcon i painted in 1987

that old lady you know the one

there was an old lady from town
who wore nothing apart from a frown
she once wore a hat
she stole from a cat
shes dead that old lady from town

how i remember pi

a rubbish rhyme about nombreros
the new value of pi wears sombreros

its aint just a three
i wish it was but you see

its a 3 then a point 1 4 1 5 9

i looked into a cabinet and saw a red hot air balloon
tiny it was all shiny and red
today i went to dorchester abbey and played my recorder outside
they wouldnt let me in on account of cider mickey trying to bum the priest with one of those big recorders
down the road this bike had been left so me and mick jumped on and nearly ran over the feet of mrs gubbins who only knows claude- peteys uncle.
we all got onto the kites with the daisys on and back in the red hot air ballon

i had to go to nanas

i had to go to nanas two mintues ago, well shes not really my nana but she gives me snowballs, liquorice allsorts and dip dabs and that,

im going to interpretive dance tonight, i called up petey and told him about pedro apparenty petes mum has already stopped perdro coming round something about a rope a lemon and michael hutchins.
me and pete are going to do banana jumps tonight last time i sicked up some liquorice laces.

this time im going there in my Lamborghini gallardo maybe wear my shades and just kick it like taebo

and possibly eat a clover

i havent been here in a while.i havent been anywhere.

i havent been here in a while

i havent been anywhere

the story goes

i set afloat a sailing boat and saw my way to tenerife

at first it was good fryed eggs sunbeds and lilos

but as soon as marge decided i wasnt the one she set me packing

i wouldnt have minded but she had sold my passport to some underage parrot for a crispy 5

with the fiver i could have got back on the boat with enough change to by the girl with a beehive a mohito

but i stayed in a bin with a terrible man who ate my shoes and taught me how

to stay awake for a life time and live in dreams

well he said he taught me but i used to see him snoozing with a cat with blue eyes

im not sure how i got back but im here now

i've got lots of post

mr clitheroe came round and bought me some icing swirls and peppermint creams and hes going to help me clear the garden

in dreams

i went around the world last night
on the ferris wheel of a nightmare
through the thunderclouds

the lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown
the lion beat the unicorn all around the town

crows flew down and pecked my collar
i paid one, one dollar to find me some peace instead he advised me to wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws
to peck at
and mrs brown threw a teapot at the river
which it made shiver like shackles of silver
which then ran red
i saw a boat
and tommoro im going to see
the river man
going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time

philips party

yesterday i went to philips party
the spread was good
i had 5 sausage rolls
and some cheese puffs
his aunty did a pass the parcel
and a cartwheel
i spilt cherryade on marie
then cyril came round with flying saucers laced with mescaline
i had two and ended up riding a kite to southend on sea

sammy gave me some clouds tonight

sammy gave me some clouds today
he said he got them from the licky hills
them hills don't go up far enough to get clouds i said
but i put them on my mantle next to the clock in the jar anyway
sammy says that he can steal dreams
so now i sleep with two hats on

the best dream ever

betty jane,you stole my heart
you ate my pies
you stole my tart



betty jane
