lines of the times

[IMMY byViv Gee

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're dancing

With the woman of your dreams In an upstairs ballroom

With a clear view

From your once tired blue eyes

I hope you forgot to take your glasses I hope you left your hearing aid

Your bathroom hand rail

Your personal toilet

Your pills you never trusted

I hope you're growing garlic in a garden of bookie shops I hope you’re completing crosswords

And reading tealeaves

And making perfect scones

And stoking a fire

With egg shells. tea bags and empty pandrop bags I hope you've found a piece

Of the action you were too frail to enjoy

I hope you're happy now. old man I hope you're now a happy boy

nun on c-x’ounu
