Saturday 25th November 2000 2.35pm

night bleeds into the afternoon
(an escape route is forming)
figures darkened by rain (penitential)
avoid liquidized dog shit
a prison pale child
absorbs the sharp words of a mis-shapen parent
30 year old novelty songs play on a radio
this is 21st century england
seen from a small window
night bleeds into the afternoon
(there is no escape route)
stab and twist the knife
this is an emergency
