Salty and spent dream generators editing the clips from today into an old cine Super 8,<\/p>\n
Tangled hair whipped around smiling faces,<\/p>\n
One hand to link the chain and the other to cling to railings like drunks,<\/p>\n
Fighting the intoxication of a windy sea day taken straight out of Blackpool<\/p>\n
circa 1984<\/p>\n
Daft and dizzy<\/p>\n
In October just before the razzle dazzle illuminations<\/p>\n
Queuing at the Winter Gardens – embossed tickets in hand – not available at the door<\/p>\n
Light pockets – birthday money spent – a little here and there wherever we went<\/p>\n
And the pinch of posh new patent leather that’ll need wearing in…<\/p>\n
That kind of carefree playful gust that brings the mood with it<\/p>\n
And paints a facsimile smile with the memory it whips across your lips-<\/p>\n
Tickling against coke floats and screeching on the swing boats –<\/p>\n
Rough sand exfoliates the dulled senses<\/p>\n
Sloughs off the worries<\/p>\n
And you’re brand new<\/p>\n
And silky smooth<\/p>\n
Against the sheets –<\/p>\n
Sliding into technicolour dreams and imaginative treats.<\/p>\n
