I meet the man today
the man that I knew I would.
He told me he had been in trouble again.
The next door neighbour had thrown a bone at him
and he had thrown it back at her.

A big bone like a lamb’s bone, that is what he said.
They threw him in Winchester knick for the night and charged him with battery.
His first taste
of the funhouse.

I told him before that it would not be long.
Maybe I did not expect it to be this soon.
I had a massive fear
that I would end up sharing a cell with him.

God would not do that to me would he?
You see
I think that he is a bit of a joker.

Maybe he is bored up there with nothing to do all day.
Counting clouds.
I wonder if he ever sleeps.
The game says that sleep is the cousin of death.
Perhaps that is why I want to sleep so much.
Goodnight, don’t forget to not wake me up.
