North-West

Michael

This is not my mummy
I'm not a mummy
But I was with my mummy
In Another Place
Where barnacled blokes
Stare out to see
Wistfully wishing, wanting
No it's not to be
In this place, at this time

This is Michael
Standing proud, remembering ice-cream
Candy-floss cloud, distant day-dream
Painting previous park-life
In a safer Moss Side
No I'm not a mummy
I just care for my inner-child
