Nicolette Turner

You know I love you
I tell you all the time
Don’t I? Well I do,
I love you desperately
...

I sat on the train from London to Glasgow
And passed not a word with anyone there
Half way through the journey
I took all my clothes off
...

Are you sitting comfortably in your skin
Not too fat
Not too thin
Not too brown
...

Our flowers dey always smilin’
Who knows what dey tinking
Me Nanna looking after dem
Who knows what dey drinkin’
...

The man sitting next to me on the tube
Was a hit man for the mob
Small, wiry, like a ferret
Fierce dark eyebrows
...

Hank’s leaving
Over crowded he say’s
Word got out
We’re a soft touch
...

Hank
Was some spider
Lived in a crack in the wall
Behind the toilet
...

In her dreams
She calls her other daughter Topaz
Because she’s warm, exotic, musky
And very precious
...

I am a member of
Apathy International.
I am working my way up the company
and should shortly become
...

Tonight
You must cook your own dinner
I planned to cook
Even went to the supermarket
...

(For anyone who ever loved an alcoholic)

Can you see that old man
The one at the bar
