it’s all t’time these days
a can’t think straight
need a break a fag
to lose some weight
it’s all t’time these days
and it dint usesda be all t’time
not much not much a bit
a bit of a kick off now and again
a bit of a hole-punch now and again
when t’doorbell dringged
or t’kettle shot hot clouds from t’spout
first thing on a morning
or last thing at night
when you cunt find your keys
your cards your fags your trousers for work
when your mam rang in secret
and went “aw he’s had ard time
please understand
he’s had a tough ride
just try to be loving
and loyal like me
be busy making lists
n cooking his tea
and popping to t’shop
for Pepporami hots
n bog roll n bin bags
n kitchen cloths
be busy be thin
just be good to him
and you waint even flinch
when he bruises your skin
cos you’ll know
ahhh you’ll know
that he loves you too much
to let you be yourself
that he loves you too much
to watch you laughing
wi somebody else”
but when it’s all t’time
it int easy to do it
and when it’s today
I waint ever get through it
and there’s nowhere to go
when t’days so late
no change for a bus
no credit no mates
sugar in t’bowl
to sweeten the blow
and the kettle’s on the lino
a hot plastic moon.

Nights Are For Breathing

Nights are for breathing
leaving t’day behind
dreaming up plans reading
abart gypsy caravans
and bicarbonate of soda
for checking your phone
like a pulse
Finding thoughtless awareness
in t’teachings o’ Tao
mixing vegan mao wi chickpeas
eating avocados
wi art all t’brown bits, please
n when t’writin dries up
n your cup’s empty n words
dunt wanna lek any more
you could allers watch Come Dine wi Me or
Dunt Tell t’Bride
sometimes you’ve just gotta swallow
your pride and embrace it
face it love
you’re not a proper poet
just a trash TV addict
put the lid back on your pen
‘cause you’ve ad it
Nights are for loving
praying saying all
t’stuff you wanna
say but dunt get
t’chance
in t’thick
o’ t’day
imagining
a better way tomorrow
And in darkness
we’re nowt but stars
and there’s a stillness
that will either tear you apart or heal you
and I hear you
‘cause it int allers easy tryin
to strike a perfect balance
Be a matriarchal leader
democratic teacher
mother and friend
and you’ve gotta forgive yoursen
round t’bend
and you lose it
Ah, those nights
wi happy hearts
are ace when
your kids
fall asleep
wi a smile
on their face
and the books
on your head
are perfectly balanced

I dunt know if I’m meant to stay
and dodge his spit and softly say
I’ll never leave you baby
I’m stuck in your armlock anyway
stoned and scared for most o t’day
dunt tell mi dad al be alraight
just pray and pray and pray and pray
but baby bump dunt go away
an all they wanna do is play
or cry or tek my time
that one that want even mine anyway
an al chalk on t’walls an dream of escape
cos livin up ere in this flat wa a mistake
this int my world and it int my place
and everything feels dull and fake
but al be here forever
cos it is hard when you’ve invested
when you’re cosmically connected
when your souls at t’same and your brain’s
infested wi lust and loss and jealousy
an nar it int easy
thinking of Liquid Acid Dream Girls
and texting words like
Nob ed. Selfish. Wanker
suppose I should thank her really
yeah thanks love
for biding his time
reminding him that he’s mine all mine
and yeah you were fine for a while
made him smile
look
you were someone to text
let him get stuff off his pumped up chest
but remember darlin
you were only ever second best
Am on a mission me
an I’m tryin to be free
and am hoping now that you’ll
love what you see
and am hopin now
that av planted this seed
it’ll grow
like a sunflower meadow
let me show you how
let me show you right now
let me drive a Voltzwagon Beetle
and take you far away from here
let me heal your fears
let me ignite you
watch me excite you
share my brain
and accept the truth
am ere man
an that’s the proof
that I love you
Cos it’s different
when there’s kids
and holiday videos
and photos of snowmen in bobble hats
you can’t just go an not look back
cos once the anger’s gone n that
all you want is sunday dinners
an that free fashion mag inside the paper
I can’t help but fuckin hate her
I want a bit of everything me
a ten pence mix
Buy One Get One Free
and people come and meet my needs
razzle dazzle tease and please
but they always always go
and yeah I know
the shoes were too big for him to fill
but I gulped him down anyway
like a bitter sweet pill
against all better judgement
against all rights
the slipper stuck to my foot
much past midnight
sit tight
he said
and wait
for a
big.
fuck off.
