iDrew<br />
my dearest elizabeth returned<br />
home from manchester disappointed that<br />
the hacienda had closed<br />
something to do with new factory acts<br />
she had only gone for<br />
a few new tracks and<br />
some of doctor johnson’s vocabulary pills<br />
but alas it was not to be<br />
so she was back home with me in<br />
the candle gloom doing girly things<br />
playing with our hair needlepoint and<br />
giggling without a care<br />
we had drunk three bottles of tesco’s cider<br />
fantasising that if lord nelson was still alive<br />
he would capture for us a small island<br />
conceivably he could invade ibzia in a<br />
day or even in his lunch hour then sit back<br />
with a brandy soaked laugh and a big fat cigar<br />
studying nouveaux riche investment portfolios<br />
with which we could build space and passion<br />
in the creamfields<br />
for fun in the sun away from our routines<br />
of tedious teas and charity deeds<br />
to a place where we could step out<br />
and be truly carefree<br />
not stuck in smokey london playing charades<br />
in rhythm with grime
