fujiya & miyagi - minestrone lyrics
anti+clockwise, i ran backwards seven times in seven circles circling
i held my breath several times
i heard the sound of the devils electric windows ascending
and his car keys jangling
in his right hand, he held a thermos flask
charcoal grey farahs creased beneath a zipped+up anorak
wearing taiwanese boots made of taiwanese leather
measured five foot eleven, the devil was caucasian
he unscrewed the cap and poured the soup out in dribs and drabs
which dripped around the perimeter of the opening to the thermos flask
my left arm started shaking
his outstretched hand approaching
his hair combed from left to right above nhs spectacles
he knew the kings of england and he quoted fights historical
he leaned forwards and he whispered softly to me
he told me what the flavour was
minestrone
i took a sip and as it trickled down my throat
i saw mephistopheles giggle to himself
the vauxhall cavalier’s electric windows descending
windscreen wipers wiping
ash fl!cked from one of twenty cigarettes that sat next to the devil’s picture book above the cassette deck
at regular intervals his finger tapped the steering wheel
humming the chorus to pal rakes and the prophets
semi+detached, the devil’s house was pebble dashed
semi+detached, the devil’s house was pebble dashed
along the main artery from the roundabout to the cul+de+sac
the wallpaper painter geraniums in recurring floral patterns
from the skirting board to the coving footsteps tap, tap, tapping
watching flies draw parallelograms beneath light fixtures
over three+thousand paperbacks stacked of science fiction
a two bar electric fire coughed up chewed up splinters
written on the window with the devil’s little finger
minestrone
seven starlings descended in curls from chandeliers
that flew in a figure of eight around my ankles
from sycamore trees, double winged seeds
corkscrewed down like helicopter blades
i picked up the four of clubs…
