Weekend Scrapped

Weekend Scrapped

weekend scrapped
spent cleaning the car
not going very far
a few country pubs to ease the mind
drunk enough to go blind
to ease the pain
scrap the car on a chevron warned corner
scrap some lives to
do what you want to do
oblivion to the need of the living
you can spend all your life talking
never giving
weekend spent in the cells
get a solicitor on the mobile phone
tell the wife of twenty five years
you are not coming home
weekend gone wrong
weekend all messed up
no one is to blame
apart from you



James Garratt – July 1995
