The end of days, 1999

Your friend C returned from Thailand
as Somerset's biggest Deadhead
a rucksack full of Polaroids and mud
- she can stay in the box room for a while ok?
:: thanks so much guys
   do you want to see my tattoos?

and to show her gratitude she whipped up
a burnt lentil curry :: sorry guys
while yelling at ma and pa on the phone

and invited us to a pop star's party
in a Camden townhouse
:: well she's like the sister of the guy from -----
   I've never heard of them, but she
   knows T who we were at school with,
   remember her, V?

& where we did poppers :: it's a
   really base drug, haha, just a little buzz
we skated along
the corridor in our socks, mock dancing
to Suede or Blur, as you looked on
bemused, and soon you, V, would

head east for your own adventures
followed, inevitably
and some
years
later
by me, G
