When I Was Young
There Was A Bump
A Man Saw Me Do It
And He Drove On

In Fast Forward
Playing On Its Back
Jabbing At Strings
That May Have Been There

One Second Carried On
Just Out Of Badness
But I Ditched The Car
Safely Into A Gap

The Lack Of Phone Credit
Reminds Me I'm An Adult
And I Poked It Once
So It Would Notice Me

Now Nose Drippings
And A Final Hard Intake
Rules Out A Trip To Town
Or Some Broken Legs

On The Mat Of My Car
I Wonder About Disease
Amongst Other Things
And Tayto Packets

It Was One Of Ten
And All Like Children
And The Others Share
Two Warm Bowls Of Milk

But There's No Answer
Because I Am Six-Two
And She Lives Alone
With Her Nine Cats

And I Still Haven't Told Her
