Thats entertainment

Just hit me.  Its the normal things now.  Shopping in Sainsburys and Morrisons.  Thats what you remember.  Not the big tranny party things, not that I did any of them, but the normal being a real person stuff. Needing a big bag, finding stuff in your bag, what shall Ihave for tea.  OK I am on holiday but there is a lot of the real grit of reality. Be using a laundrette en femme dressed.  That's as normal as it gets. Its not like skiing, getting a kick out of wearing the salpettes because of what you do in them is so amazing but because it is so normal.  OK you are dressed, so what?  Get on with your life.  You are bored, good.  You do not get a kick out of the clothes,  real women, ok bad term, do not get a kick out of dressing normal but out of what they do. One bottle of Pinot Grigio and a bottle of Poachers beer and out it comes, like laying a golden egg.

A police car and a screaming siren -
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete -
A baby wailing and stray dog howling -
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking -
That's Entertainment.
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots -
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -
Lights going out and a kick in the balls -
That's Entertainment.
Days of speed and slow time Mondays -
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday -
Watching the news and not eating your tea -
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls -
That's Entertainment.
Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning -
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol -
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard -
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays -
That's Entertainment.
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac -
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away -
That's Entertainment.
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight -
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude -
Getting a cab and travelling on buses -
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs -
That's Entertainment.
