Subject: sub - single drek
will it be a book tonight
or the tele
dinner was a table
for one facing the window
at the noodle bar
no point calling up a friend
it's saturday there's no-one home
and it doesn't do
to wear the welcome down
lie down on the settee
remote control to change the show
there's nothing
worth a second look
nothing to talk about tomorrow
and no-one to say it to
leave the front door open
hear the traffic flow
up and down
this dead-end street
it's good to know
there's life out there
god knows
everything has died in here
could have gone out
to the singles bar
for anybody
over twenty-eight
but how do you join that flow
how ever do you change
into a body more attractive
it's looking like an early night
the telephone is silent
no-one thought to give a call
but hardly anybody
has the number and anyway
you look at it
this single life
is only drek on paper
