Definitely Nuts

Met a Renaissance Man with a bag of swords and of course a feather in his cap

And

A born again Christian with a magic formula and eyes that seemed just a little bit too deep

While watching and listening to two miles of long line being hauled up the dock

Yesterday

Four police officers were at the end of the ramp too , I saw them without my glasses on,

blue broad shouldered blurs way at the end of the dock

But when I asked why they were there

Nobody knew

Later on I went to The Hard and sat on a park bench at twilight

Looked down an endless tunnel of beauty resting in the middle of a long bicycle ride

And

Whilst on my park bench watching people wearing watches that cost more than my home

I overheard

And

Had the following words thrown at me

Look I'm telling you straight

That's what you're paying me for

You have no choices

And

It smells like something you could grow coffee in

That's what you get for wearing cheap perfume

And

Watched a little boy with a stick do a dance for his parents

"La la. La la" the little boy sang and then hit his stick against the stones of the seawall

"La la. La la" the little boy sang except when he'd hit his stick against the stones

Then he'd say, "Fuck you. Fuck you."

His parents seemed to think this was delightful

They clapped

Later on still when I got back safe to my home

After my long bicycle ride on The Hard seeking some quiet peace

And

Instead feeling bemused and firmly in purgatory

The two miles of long line still being pulled unceasingly along the dock

I checked the tide tables

It was in fact

Full moon
