now the pickled onions are fantastic
a first bite twists the spine 20 degrees
anti-clockwise with left shoulder dipping
so folks developed language & language
developed people which helped us knock through
but also dumped too much weight in the boot
thus fucking up most front-wheel drives & those
who squat in the backs of caves wondering
what star-light might be like in an ideal world
instead of smacking fat pigs with ping-pong
bats from which the rubber mat flaps free or
licking Swindon nymphs in the fairy-light
lit gloom of St Cecilia's Day where
Purcell no it's Mahler is humming you
mustn't enclose the night inside you you
you must flood it in eternal light
