ANTICLOCKWISE

 

​

 

I NEED A HAND TO UNDERSTAND

THE CONQUISTADOR ON TOUR

WITH A RABBIT IN A NUNS HABIT

LOVE TEA AT THREE

WITH A MONKEY DRESSED AS A FLUNKY

WHILE MUSIC ROCKS FROM A VINTAGE JUKEBOX

 

A DISTANT BELL IN A TOWER RINGS THE HOUR

ON A LEAD MY CAT IN A RED TOP HAT

BESIDES MY FEET PAWS SET OFF-BEAT

RED OR WHITE? WINE OR TURKISH DELIGHT?

A CHURCH CHIOR SINGS ALL GOOD THINGS

AND IN THE LANE A BARKING DOG IN THE FOG

 

MINOR RELAPSE TOWARDS TOTAL COLLAPSE

OF TIME AND SPACE, QUESTIONS TO FACE

DID THE MARK THREE PASS THE MOT?

A COOL BEER MAKES A BOAT EASIER TO STEER

FIND MY WAY DURING THE DAY

CRYSTAL GLASS CHINK ON THE WAY TO THE CLINK

 

FLICK THE SWITCH SON-OF-A-BITCH BLACKOUT GREENWICH

TOTAL CONFUSION JUST AN ILLUSION

FREEDOM FOR THE LOWER CLASSES WITH PASSES

KEYS FOR LOCKS ROLLED UP IN SOCKS

A SAFE IN A WALL EMPTIES LIKE A WATERFALL

AND ANY RHYME MAKES SENSE TO THOSE NOT ON THE FENCE

 

TREES SHOOK FROM A LANDING CHINOOK

AS I SAT ON THE FLOOR BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR

BARRICADES PILED HIGH KEEP THE POWDER DRY

THESE FRAGMENTS OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS ARE IT SEEMS

TRYING TO SPEAK THROUGH HIDE-AND-SEEK

AND ANTICLOCKWISE HAS FANTASIES OF BEING CLOCKWISE
