Hey Hey Mr Blue
Skerryman’s in that blue shirt, makes everything like Indian summer, unbelievable it’ll ever end. What’s beautiful? The hack-uddered cattle, sun like Gold-top on their flanks. My arms, the swaggering right sunburnt, a python on the wound-down window. The pale left, scooping the car round fruity bends. Every blazing day is like the old songs and tonic water, the grasses tipsy, starlings like crochet rests on the telegraph’s stave. Imagine Skerryman, in his nostalgia shirt. Hey Hey Mr Blue. I beat time in the cidery grasses.
Now, if nothing’s netted and nothing’s stated, he keeps everything Blue. But look at the satellite: warm and cold fronts, and our tattooed High
drifting along. And Skerryman goes Right-o, time I was getting on, and moves your hand and zips his fly and antlered, a silent Harrier zips the blue sky, trailing a streamer of ROAR.
