Manchester – You were immense.
Woke up to the music of construction – they’re
rebuilding Manchester outside my window where a slit
of
grey light squeezes through & I feel fine. Anti Gravity
Man is arrested on the street where this geezer
with a 3 day face fur looks down at his lad & says, “Ya
Mam’s just concerned about you livin’ on the street”
“Naa, I’m all-right me” he replies – buried in the
shadow of a hood. A woman yells,
“I’m standin’ in the door of Nobles!” to no one but the
rain & back in the che-che hotel there’s faceless jazz
& hoovers & air freshener & Sky News on a loop &
power meetings still dressed in black still livin’ back
in the 80’s & cleaners hover outside my room – waiting
to erase all trace of my history – ready for the next one
in line.
