Tasha woz ‘ere:
25p singles
7% Diamond Whites’
Happy Shopper
chocolate mice
Greengrocers’ aprons
tap water on tap
wrapped or open?
Onion vinegar
white bap
hop skip and jump
Oi watch out!
Oily puddles
airbrushed dogshite
brown to white
on my Raleigh bike
everybody wants
to rule the world
I.R.A means
white people don’t
all get along
mega blazing
dustbin fires
metal cylinders
quite the crowd
when that starts
only time I’m still
wild and held in
just watch and see
on low brick walls with
self-strike matches
anti-climb paint
honour and badges
swelling goes down
paint never comes off
beats and beat downs
adventure playgrounds
with wooden everything
tower tyre swings
go-karts not just for boys
there’s St Francis de Sales
David’s funeral next door
he just fell
was scared
and went over
the balcony
he was running
and he just fell.
