Death
of a Salesman
William Burroughs
— ‘Burroughs’ — signs a copy
of The Naked Lunch over to you
not like a baton
on the 4th
October 1982, whilst The Smiths
play their first
gig at The Ritz
just down the
road.
It sat on your
gas fire for years
the one you
can’t turn on anymore
because it
gasses the man next door.

My new pills,
remedially labelled
with all the
days of the week,
an
anti-depressant advent calendar,
I choose
Saturday
and pull on my
Danish Noir pullover
for the café,
the hub of my operation.
I shake sugar
into my coffee
— hub, a wheelwright’s
word,
first became common
currency
in the early
nineteenth century,
during a craze
for bicycles.
