Sketch For Joanne |
Joanne comes around with a radio and absinthe |
We start the afternoon with polish xmas songs on shortwave |
She laughs as we burn the first shot, the green flame |
I love joanne |
We’ve been friends for 12 years |
We used to be lovers but now a hug can be just a hug |
I followed her from derbyshire to london |
She’s the sub-librarian, the swan feeder, spectacle breaker |
I wanted to buy her a bicycle this xmas but she said it was too much |
She can close me down like i let no-one else do |
We watch the green flame in the window |
And it somehow makes me think of Amsterdam or Paris |
Rain beneath canal bridges in neon cafe light |
The phone rings but it’s not for me |
The answering machine catches it and holds it and holds it and holds it |
