An incident, it is the fifth of
A scratched September morning
I have missed the morning ticket
The afternoon group alas
Is the station for discouragement
Is the stage to be butchered
Five remain unscathed
A blank and a greyish Hatred are my choices today
These were in print and
Imprinted years ago
By Reg, a friend
I intend to return his book to the clinic
They have missed my presence
So they say
So what have i missed?
The introduction of a man who drinks mouthwash?
Gags about oral hygiene?
Newish old faces?
Diabetes?
The injection of stark warnings of death and
Several failures of insulin-giving practice leaves us with
Fears of needles, stories and life-long long nights
You have to or you die
You have to or you die
The corners laugh
Habits contribute and inform this collective
They can't be bothered to cook
Heroin and later on, laughter
Follow the man with a penchant for plaques and
Obscure dangers
Sleep on your own front doorstep
Operate machinery
Cut through lawnmower cables
Twice wouldn't you know it?
Spend your drink lolly on brollies
Use your imagination
Watch the Ashes
Eat jaffa cakes
