If I stand here

with my references

and wad of cash

but I won’t

stand here

with my references

and wad of cash

I am tenth

in a line of

borrowed suits

and excuses

and my hair

isn’t quite parted

the right way

but there is no

right way

and nobody

notices the lack

of security

and dodgy leaky

gritty sink

taps on the blink

if taps could

blink

and if I stand

in

line

I might not miss out

on this des res

or I miss out

on this des res

and not miss out

at the tapas

van where

references and

wads of cash

are in short supply

and I am fifth

in line
