I Am the Chair A day in the life of comp
I am in Odessa on the main street
On a pedestal I overtop
A lot of people I meet and greet
Their asses on me they drop.
A chair made of bronze!
Have you ever heard of that?
The other chairs are pawns.
With them I ignore to chat.
Every day I’m admired,
Became a hero of the day
I’d love to say I’m never tired
And never wish to hit the ...

She’s gone now,
Gone to roam the avenues and backstreets
Of forgotten Manchester,

And dry like the used ash tray
Before me,

Bedside cabinet,
And thinking of the a...

you once fitted
like a glove
as you flitted
here and there
happy in the thought
that you were
going somewhere.
Leopard print or leather
all the buttons that you never
sewed back on
nest
in the linings of those pockets
amid the lipsticks ...

On Social Strata
Don’t look askance upon my lowly stature on the ladder.
Your great disdain even to shake my hand
Says more about your character than mine.
If your nose turned up any more, the rain would soak your brain – but -
No great damage there.
I think your little grey cells have crawled,
Like embryonic spiders,
Into your deep, slow-sucking crevasses of sel...
