tender soft

pitter patter go the feet
feeling a way around
fitter fatter the complete
paraody of tarnished fatherhood
bit of rat on the street
tipped hat at the police
long explanations at the border
the taking of drifters as
prisoners and setting them to
lunch with bankers
the listing of hit listers
driving the harbour masters
starkers as they try and keep
the evening from closing
the parks at night
so the pixies can play
undetered by noisey children
or kidnappers fast asleep
losing their way
