Who’s there?
Just an eddy of air
That tickles the trees
Only the scuff of a cat
...
On and on
Through the snow we run
Puffing and panting
It’s not much fun
...
It’s been a rather difficult year
We’ve not always seen eye to eye
He has an unfortunate attitude
His sights are not set too high

It wasn’t long after my dad was dead
That I heard the first flutter of birds in my head
They began as dark distant shapes in the sky
And I could hardly hear their black crow cry
...
No-one’s kissed her,
My big sister;
It’s enough to make her weep.
Dreams of romance,

All men are different
All men are the same
It’s how you choose to see us,
Remember you’re part of this game.

There’s summat in t’air, th’ knows,
There’s summat in t’ grass.
Th’ can see in t’ farmer’s face, it shows,
Summat’s come t’ a pretty pass.

Hurry home, don’t be late!
Don’t stay in the yard or talk at the gate!
Don’t forget the Green Cross Code!
Don’t go to the shops, don’t cross the main road!
...
Sometime
During the serious work of this Monday morning
I will think of you last night
And smile
...
Wallis with his Walkman
Truckin’ down the street,
Gives no respect
To the people he meet.
