Drinking absinthe

Drinking absinthe

 

We are all in the gutter

And our star is Wormwood

Fallen, insalubrious in paramount ways

From this vista we spring

Legs like galvanized slinkies

Lurching, bounding in an emerald haze

Of joy and greed for the vivid

Sate us with hues and inform us buffoons

Crown us with garlands of Wildeian tulips

And an earnest death in the afternoon

The Fun-Fair ►

Hey steve

I heard you perform this at the Green room and thought it was fab. Like Dominic I love the line "galvanised slinkies". it give the reader a very strong image.

Hey Steve we need to hear more of these sessions, or is it just difficult to remember them?
