Looking Back Through a Front Windscreen

...Inevitably places have changed,
where I was born looks like an alien city to me,

remembering his bawling baby, being sick
and of spotty girls with golden hair
daydreaming of pink blancmange and pies

I pass through different windows now,
white rabbits lead the ...

And Have a Nice Day

i don't know what the coitus to do
Stubbed my toe
Blancmange does not seem to do the trick
The mammary gland in my work

something to do with a workers' dispute,
and Mum was at the next-door neighbour's
on one of her 'brief' visits.
