Day EIGHT
HELLO AM I EVEN DANCING
They come in a yellow van
to collect me from work everyday
sometimes they drag me home screaming
Take your tablets when we tell you to they say
funnelling them down my throat
I don't like them I shout I don't want them
and I hate you more than you love Eccles Cakes
We don't like you either they reply in unison
but we have to come here to help you
to make sure you don't harm yourself
so shut up or we'll flaming batter you
After they think that I have fallen asleep
in my supa dupa reclining chair in front of the TV
they talk to each other about the disco last night
and how many Pernod and blacks they swallowed
Blooming Nora how long is it since I went to a disco
I used to do the Tamla Walk at the Ocean Ballroom
but they won't remember that I don't suppose
After the meals on wheels lady goes home
they undress me drag me upstairs and put me to bed
Do I really remember that or am I dreaming
hello am I even dancing around the ballroom
or am I hallucinating in the bedroom on the medication
that they just stuck down my throat sideways
