As I grow sick of the here & now, this here
Horror of a Brighton poetry scene, I contemplate
Reading my words to some bewildered souls
At a heavy-metal open-mic night which I got
To say sounds a helluva lot better than those
Damn poetry
Acoustic
Safe-space
Hiding places where the most important
Issues of our time include how all white,
Middle-aged men are just yucky & whether
Scrambled egg is better with olive or vegetable
Oil!
