sing to me of rain
and the girl just out of reach -
daylight hidden stars

blinkered and frantic
there's a riot in my head -
a focus then peace

the social contract
broken by the feckless poor,
or the government,
where's hope for the underclass?
Divided society

a bottle of wine
some chicken in the oven
a film on TV

I want to be washed
clean of all the darkness which
paralyses me

I swim in the rain
you dance on the beach naked -
rainbow between us

the only escape
when the anxiety dreams come
is insomnia
