Sinister: Streets Of Fire

[P F]

out
in

greenwich
one rises
and says

G'day mates!

G'day g'day g'day

Good day good day good day

A brief bit
and it is only brief
it will have been brief
we will have been quick or dead
and not known -
or known -
the scant transactions of the two.

of abuse for
you on
and on you
and you on
the wireless the
stage the
moving picture house
there will be little but words
and pictures

a foggy Wednesday morning
in ol' London town,
I stepped out of the bakery
and met Ms Martha Brown.
Ms Marth Brown I said to her
were you not someone's bride?
Why yes, she said with cold regard
Someone who went and died.

you lucky little bleeders.
you poor children
of a century with too much soul
more than it yet knows

So get you London diaries out
for
Elijah is coming
and the geese are getting fat
on rumours and cheese rinds
and corkscrews and lard

and the diary will have had space for a hundred more
irremediable indiscretions

SODASTREAM and Darren Hanlon
at the Betsey Trottwood
she trott
like a tot
I trott after her
Trent Lott
in a rented car
in a rented lot
she call the police
in frantic voices
in Farringdon,
in Moorgate,
in High Holborn
and in Aldgate East
I hear a keening
a sharpening of the knife

London town,
why do you lie above me
and fly below
breeding rare dreams
and smoke of boats
my love she speaks
like silence
Great Britain
the coast sweats erosion
and at Ramsgate only a
barbe-a-papa to make
time tell against us

this Saturday on
and next Sunday
and every Monday there will have been a day
a day to choose,
a time to gather
syllables apart

she said
the 18th November
at 8pm!
she said
i said
whats the point of that
she told me It's 100% Australian
pop fun mate, fair dinkum... or something.
I can hear them coming nigh
below the sign of the Blue Boar

Get there early
or late,
it skills not to ask, for to ask
one cannot ask
until one knows the question
et je ne le sais pas déja
as it could be a bit busy
apparently. and in reality
and in the greater world
and in the little world
we shall have our business
and we shall be busy
by the sun, by the moon
And there'll be
music and laughter
and whiskey and wine
- he's doing fine, yes, ma'am, just fine -

through till 1am
I waited
a jackdaw's beak pinned on my breast.
'Another ending', she pledged me,
'"where" the dogs can't hear'.
with DJ's
and ABCs
and Lyons Corner Houses
a 'poet' or two gather

from Strange Fruit and
mulberries, for yea, there will be bushes
and trees, the vegetables will grow,
this year, I think.
I think, this year, and go East.

some silly list people.
some hollow disciples.
some police pregnant with words they dare not utter.
some weavers looming and spilling and catching.
If you're not there
you're now here
at 8
at 7
at the clock
at the station, under the clock,
yes, that is where we meet, I have seen it all now,
you'll miss me and
I shan't even, shan't even have gone.

the
lad
drunken
the maid
who
bleeds
who will

Matt fighting and about
I told her, Doreen, get out while you can
what to play and spilling beer
and mugs of tea, and toast, and your reflection
on our records which could be amusing.
Oh all this entertainment
'is too much for my nerves'
she breathes, with one of deception's sighs.
daylight robbery at an extortionate 4 English pounds...
just you try it on!
If anyone needs
anymore
no more
anymore
here
there will have been more
somewhere
info
in
and out
oh, brother
oh, foe,
info
is not for the likes of us
goodbye

let me know...

goodbye

let me know...

goodbye
