Toast

I'll get my own toast

And read a comic

I like the war ones

I love my comics

"But it's not reading," my mum would say

"You need some Shakespeare, you need a classic

Proper books, proper books"

Smoking is permitted upstairs

I can run and jump, hold a rail

Front seat, front seat

And leap off at the lights

I love the speed and wind

I am learning to tap dance

I am learning modern jazz

Ballet, ballet

I'm on my own, a little thief

I'm lost in time, I'm on my own

My time in my time

My time in my time

My time in my mind

No luck, just genes

Just genes
