ON A TRAIN TO LIVERPOOL SITTING BACKWARDS

today is the last day
today is the greatest
it’s Ok it’s alright
it’s OK it’s alright
it’s alright it’s alright
it’s OK it’s alright
it’s alright it’s OK
it’s alright it’s alright
flowers fall
squiggly trees
this is my pen
this is my paper
I compose on the road
you can touch it
you can hear it
you can smell it
you can taste it
you can see it
it doesn’t exist
the foreskins
of weeping strangers
they call it a wishbone
a ghost quiver
I’ve got to milk it
or melt it
before I was
a ghost
I was a ghost
