We were like ‘yin and yang’,

‘Spick and Span’

- Hot pot, big pan -

slick and tanned!

The could we can -

sweet, sweet like marzipan!

The kind of love that makes you FAT,

that attracts the sniff sniffing rats.

- Rap! Trap! Rat! The blind bats! -

But I walked and you ran,

I was kicked like tin-can

then you thought you were tin-man,

cause you forgot your heart on my sleeve

before you let the door slam.

Now

I don’t know who I am

but this is how my mind became water,

how my thoughts became waves,

my ideas became bubbles -

they could fly away,

far away

or drop and pop -

diminish or disarray…

This is how we learned to say HEY!

Hip! Hip! hooray!

Yip! Yap! yip!

Blib! Blab! blib!

Howdy!

Turn that lasso round my brain

and boomerang it back again

till it’s bent like a silver spoon

because I think I’ll be needing it soon.
