Array ( [sid] => 168423 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => a dream [time] => 2011-11-07 14:35:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => the stale vest he wore
wreaked of stale lynx
he smiled and the sun saw
the moon sang the kinks

the day laughed and rose a knife
the wind conspired on his life
a car screeched in flames
fluttering distant names

a pond shimmered from still
as a swan broke flight free
a shooter swam in dill
but he was there for all to see

the boys were back
as london burnt
greasy wore a sack
but never learnt

china strummed a natiinal guitar
and old time melody
too long gone and far
all there but she ...

a quatering crow squaked
as ravens pecked the new
grassmen strolled and forked
but the concrete had its dew

the orchids in balloon
swirl and swoon
the seeds are sown
but groundless grown

betrayed by touch
glory dire drunken clutch
but always too much
a broken man on stilts
like crutch

so go on boys life is a pantomine
take your road map your sign
gods away at work
and a doley demon can smirk
