In cupboards, we crawl again,

along the edges of chipped tea cups

with old foes never forgotten,

and new friends not yet rotten.


Don't be stupid after easter,

turn and burn and bang out 

poverty poems about believing

in seamless dreams of the future.


Let's joke about yesterday,

and never double dare tomorrow,

expel everything you ever thought,

New York feels so cold even when it is hot.
