A smoked bacon sandwich and sunbathing on the Aisle of Aldi
And Dixon Dallas and his explicit gay country songs
And a winding canal of no-added sugar apple and blackcurrant juice
And a trip to the inconvenience store
And the dead writer Eric Jourdan who sits with a wet and dripping Jeff Buckley who has climbed out of the Mississippi River
And a stick man who jumps off the shelf above my desk
And Chrissie Hynde who steals my unopened pack of twelve sharp HB pencils
And jazz-funk played out of a wind-up gramophone
And a beach hut with a blue flag on top
And Grandmaster Flash who plays dominoes with a white-suited Johnny Cash and hum White Lines together
And a cucumber sandwich filled with juniper berries, crab sticks and piccalilly
And the boy’s a slag, the best you ever had
And the handsome guy whose hair is cut by Jar Jar Binks
And come see, come see, remember me
And Heartbeat on perpetual loop
And Timothée Chalamet dancing to Rush with Troye Sivan’s underwear between his teeth
And Taylor Swift biting the head off a street drinker on Tottenham Court Road and spitting it into the Thames
And train drivers who believe they’re poor
And dirty teenage boys who are shirtless and ride Vespas up and down the seafront at Cannes
And rusting Italian scooters dumped at the bottom of a Venice lagoon
And Pier Paolo Pasolini reading Enid Blyton stories to Cornish piskies on Bodmin Moor
And Arthur Rimbaud, who promises to be nice, quoting poetry, bumbling and buzzing over stinking cruelties,
And Noel Coward dueting with Nicki Minaj on a bandstand in Barbie World USA
And the Eifell Tower in French France weeping tears of diluted Gautier
And the photo of Derek Jarman that blows over when a house from Kansas drops through the roof of TK Maxx
And the sweaty rent boy that drinks Jack Daniels and bleach on the rocks
And the woman who has her clitoris pierced by Brigitte Bardot wearing jam jar glasses in Taco Bell
And the lanky lad with tarantula bites on his legs
And the boyfriend who says he doesn’t love me anymore
And Come On, Harry, We Want to Say Goodnight to You.
