TRAVELLING HOME FROM MILLOM BY TRAIN
What’s the most obvious donk around you
and how many donks deep
and did the donk not descend
to get to the donk on the end of it?
The train goes wreckety wreckety wreck;
its metal parts expand and contract;
I’m on the way home from scoring,
and had a joint at the station.
Sometimes it seems postmodernism
is an extended metaphor for
the effect of cannabis on the brain
but it’s not a proper theory.
The journey now is only as short as
smoke long fiction from Japan and
it is nearly my stop, so I will stop
and ride the wave of paranoia home.
