The Dark Inside
the dark inside
slide along the wall
till you fall or drop
the dark inside
it is taking me away
i think it happens everyday
it must be, in someway
slide through sewers
slide through dreams
we are made of soft stuff
but really, it is too soft
it is dark inside
inside and often outside
James Garratt – Saturday 8th May 1999
