The yellow of your windows

When you leave

Match the dawn

When it’s over the M1

You worship the sun

Lorries pound

Jump – quick

Into a ditch

Nothing broken

But the yolk of morning

On the motorway bridge

                              

You stop in at a shop

Isles of bottles

You’ve moved on

You cut out the middle man

Between each new day

Choose blue top

Down it

try to find

Your own street

A cold stone in the belly

Sucking words from the telly
