Good Grief Christina
was the first single I ever owned;
bought from the everything store
in Alvechurch Square.
Nine years old and precocious
not realising I was still a child
with a child's view of the world.
I played it constantly
on my sister's blue mono
until the needle wore out,
imagining myself as a pop star hero
on the sexist, rape-culture stage
of seventies rock-n-roll
