I can float on a bed of beancurd
I can't fly on my chicken wings
teach me how to hold a trowel
in the library of things

hope springs eternal in the hot springs
as desperation gets steamier
and on the damp lawns of the campus
I'm in academia

are you seeing someone on the course
and dreaming you're in the pavilion there?
asking how many giants can fit on an island?
one fully inflatable trillionaire

fully functional until a puncture
joining up the piano dots
shake the coins from inverted king midas
any baby spiders, nanobots

engine revving, where do we sign?
left the motor running, out on the street
cos in Devon, everything is fine
and in Somerset even the non-dairy is sweet

and the gluttony's gluten-free, the weed is wheat-free
even the wholegrains are smelling of tea tree
unbearable sadness of fire escape ladders
with some third space nerd grace in the geek clique eatery

green dots on the map, and pinks and lilacs
but who's putting the dog-seat in the back of the hilux?
cancel culture they blame on bursaries
but Batgirl was cancelled by the mercenaries

no babycham we like, forever-chem recyc.
get in the batcave, come out on an eBike
vintage boutiquery, come out in a bowler hat
safari park breakout, nightmare ebola cat

in the universe of strife
biochemistry 101
in the university of life
fill another demijohn

teach us what's an oxymoron
show us capitalist ethics
somewhere east of Eden
somewhere south of Essex

inspirational story of rags to glory
with a conspiratorial reptilian stare
are you seeing someone on the course
and dreaming you're in the pavilion there?
