dream affect

wed been through it before its mouth hail mary our queen
dont refuse or raise like the guy in sea change we smelt nice warm
every night having what came out of it better bored than ill
the sound had me doing my plath kick asking for milk & biscuits
why do we choose such dark places for our books
making a flag simple enough for all
makes her more difficult of access that day if the man in
a lot of iron & gold which we werent allowed to touch
we went over we stretched till breaking point sweetened or poisoned
the sharks circle its a break for them an early party
in the mud illegally saying how things work
a powdered bloke foot on his clutch books a court appearance
a fool walking far enough to save the blood of a tree frog
the true man of the piece fed & sent us to sleep

remembrance of things past vol. 2
