they descend upon the city like flies   spraying their eggs into a dead dog’s eyes   it’s England on a Saturday night   I wish I could be like them and I try   but I find it more rewarding to walk along the river   picturing my body discarded in the water   I wonder who will do it and I wonder what they’re doing right now   they opened up the sewers tonight   animals caged in their appetites   let loose upon the passer-by   and people like me are just parasites   take me to the river   I want to feel the water   closing in and helpless as you’re pushing my head under   I wonder if you’ll do it and I wonder what you’re doing right now   at four am you’re lying right there   with urine and wine dried in your hair   I take you to the river   I want to show you something   I’m making a map from all the flowers I’m collecting   I wonder if I’ll do it and I wonder what I’m doing right now
