Waiting for the paycheck,
the post it never comes.
Waiting for the paycheck,
I'll have to do some sums.
...

Now that I am old and grey,
I don't fear anything any more.
Passing time and dimming hours,
breathe freshness into my lungs.
...

I went first and undid my zip.
She outdid me and took off her bra.
I hid my mobile; she locked hers.
Clothes on the floor;
...

Security's overrated,
I really think it is.
Unless there's a guard on the door,
you're in a state of tizz.
...

Next time I come over,
you'll let me kiss you all over.
And I'll let you cut my hair.
...

Like diggers' teeth against the sea.
Upright. Proud. Vain.
Crashing women against the break
Rust me.
...

Lazy days are mine,
as the mist settles,
and the leaves rattle,
across someone else's lawn.
...

And I saw you lying there,
so young and satisfied.
Like a hot leveret,
basking in the sun.
...

When Frances Farmer
was young and poor,
on Mum's advice she
put great store.
...

I think they should do weather forecasts,
for heavy social-pressure:
who's talking to whom,
and who is under the weather.
