‘Language is slippery.’
It’s like
sometimes you’re trying
to say something,
you know?
Like
the other day
I went to cross the road,
right?
I mean that’s all
just cross the road
like the chicken in the old joke.
And there’s this big lorry
blocking my way
and it sort of growls at me
and eases forward
as soon as I step out.
Know what I mean?
So I didn’t want to risk
crossing in front of it.
No way.
So I started to walk round
behind it.
And I got about halfway round
when the lorry moved off
and left me
walking round
nothing.
It’s like
It’s like
It’s like
as if
as if
as if
nothing
