With Barstool Blues by Neil Young playing in my head

One foot crooked resting against the wall

tracktop halfzipped on July evening

curiously excited that this night is our big goodbye

* my name is Neil I am a beatnik I do not wear socks *

It is symbolic of my liberation

and waiting for you ten past twenty past

risk a trip to the main road and think about 

buying a calming drink, a soothing elixir of superstrong fuel

no one would know no one would care

but inspect the hospital building and hurry back

in case you've arrived (you haven't)

 

They did say Ravenscourt Park didn't they

and there is just the one exit isn't there

and they did say seven o'clock

reconsult the A-Z crunched in my pocket where 

the hell are they, stop thinking stop thinking too much 

you'll become overwired

 

Learn to cloooose the mind of its ceaseless chatter

I am coooool now and cannot afford 

to display aspects of fret and fuss

I don't want no botheration round me

lighten up n tighten up, Neptune Titan stars can frighten ...

where are my jazz glasses

the Indian cousin took them to the Isle of Wight

we went with the pockmarked Austrian waiter

pretended to be spies

sniggering twerps of the highest secret order

and someone to ashamed to use the pee pee 

ate five Big Macs in the rain, and 

 

Someone must be watching me from those windows

dumb waiter whispering to myself

the very perspicuity of marsylph

and pacing in a 10-step radius gravel cage

scan the latest embarkees

for the bounching chestnut hare

I have the impertinence to call 'mine'

the temerity to define as 'girlfren'

although this definition is rapidly approaching its expiry date

and you are curiously excited 

- where is the park, where is the river, 

where is the stacked Welsh ladieees flat we are towards heading - 

 

You are undeniably elated

rampant with rocketing of the hormones

the light breeze wending and what is wending 

its way beneath your skimpy top 

and playing upon the ripening nipples oh pleeeeeeeeeese 

 

And it is curious because tomorrow 

there will be the biggest 

fattest nothingness you have ever known
