Written by N. N. Benn

 

exhausted by the tyranny of choice, unable to sleep

four alarmed hours, panic, boredom mile high

bad pizza is still good (pizza)

parched stroll, less so

cacti burrito, visage of a village in the mirage,

reinforcements parachuting in

petulant torrents of surf, energía de la patata grande

pumice piss, a curtain of cliffs

scattered sand past the chain-gang (squared)

by fag ash straits of jagged lava, literal poetry in motion

el grifo, aquapark abandonado de los muertos

pizza tres quesos, no blue, snide salad

fall asleep in my clothes fresh from the waffle shop boys

sick in the loo at midnight, gracias, los waffle shop boys

 

wrap up warm for the gilet years

two big lumps then an evening of beers

it’s like 10 thousand spoons when all you need is bus fare to partick

ah well, i suppose we’ll get there in the end

 

lizard pulse pathos and egrets on the gravel cut

a ring around the thing regrets declined burrata

fact checked carbon, archaeomagnetic dating

prohibito biciclette, celestial waves lapping, rusty mounds

baps boobing a breasty boundary around the emphysema cowboy country

take a magic carpet ride on the greenback camel trail

and bury my radar at wounded knee

boquerone bocadillo on the lounger, agree to be fleeced for a taxi

nintendo cheesecake or deep fried mars bar

waitress genuinely surprised by everything we order

tiramisu, creamy goo,

live laugh love like death from above

trigger habit, sunny meditation

they sent a bus to pick us up! (call back to the pilot episode)

a man pigeon marshalls a hall of endless queues

lost laptop tizzy dash

fined for excess baggage (bang to rights)

 

hold on tight for the gilet years

keep it strong and stable on two round wheels

unique to the animal kingdom is the migratory mamil

i guess we’ll know when if we get there in the end
