he's stunted. hides his tins in bins by the

magistrates' thinks

rumthoughts and his scousedream of a

an overstock of pigeons round the flattyre of a

delivercycler outside the frenchpatisserie. see,

highbury kfc. in the plunder he licks lips at

mannequins, quarrelcots and bijoubins to piss in.

a neatly tied bag in the caress of dewy wings

on the corner by the bizzies, twitches. still

some cats call this living.

The graffiti reads of effigies and

spent laments to Barnacles,

the god of clinging on.
