That's you by my abyss
It's beautiful today
Whatcha' gonna do
I'm happy
I'm really happy
I bought new suit
It looks great
It's blue
Okay
Scream
"It's a girl"
They said
This salty-water skin
1439 Liverpool Street
I feel some relief smiling behind her
Smiling in air-conditioning
Ask, "do you like this weather?"
"No"
They said "one-twenty-three degrees and humid"
"I wish it would rain soon"
Wilting, yes
A few cucumber plants
Glass
Sporting a new peacoat
Underneath, my machine, spread out on the new velveteen
Riding salt-faced into Liverpool Street
Chewing on the wall
Chewed on the wall
Chewed on the house
But d'you know why?
Throat dust starving at the back walls
Slow motion
Sham big TV shirtless
25794
Let me remind you
This is a no-smoking area
Two rubber shoes
And two liquid tin-iron on the side of the rails
Brake dust
Dog-dust, rubber glove, part rat
So much brown and grey
The whole slips out of the tube on the rails
Yellow face with numbers in the yellow between the cracks
4368 and we cross
Metal bars waiting to slip into the shade
Something cool
This geezer keeps staring at me
