Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue - 

Lined with poppy girls. 

I didn't stop, stop to say hello. 

Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac - 

Looked me over - 

Thought it best, best that I should go. 



Don't wake me: I'm falling. 

Slow spiral into morning. 

Who's out there? Can't hear you. 

Ears covered - early warning. 

Alarm bells ringing. 

Time to make my peace with the dreary day. 



I waited atbles - I was tipped in roubles. 

Wine to water 

Was the best that I could do. 

Wild office parties split the silence. 

Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two. 



Down the spiral, spinning madly. 

Gathering momentum 

On a disneyesque adventure ride. 

I fly in colours from richer palettes. 

Famous artists running scared as worlds collide.
