Paul held up his scissors ...

Paul held up his scissors - 

The blades gleamed like strange beaks - 

If Gravesend is 1 out of 10 he said Middlesborough is minus 10 - 

We never got out of the car - 

The blades of Paul's scissors whirled through my hair - 

I thought of the wind straight from Russia - 

Gulls clustering above a stained coastline -

Rain falling on hollowed out streets - 

The kingdom of the edgelands - 

Cigarette smoke filling colourless rooms -
