Why call it "Vicarage" when the lane
bears not a reference to the history
for if a chapel stood upon the same
a simple plaque would solve the mystery.
Instead it's lined with cut-price shops and stores
and Turkish Barbers which I think a front
for laundry deals and tax-free fags and more
or pop-up boutiques that glue false nails to some
poor women of a certain kind who show
they cannot fight to save their lives
for if they are attacked they can't but go
for scratching out their erstwhile foe's green eyes.
And while a older lady folk tunes plays
My minds returns to past, traumatic days.
