I’m an open book,
A colouring book,
Mescaline and opium
Here’s a trap door,
Mercury thermometer, OCR
So flush my skin,
Breathe some life back in
You skin me raw and bright
Reflecting the light
Magic painting
Stretch me into a thin man,
Squeeze me through a square hole,
Dye me in bright colours
And make a man deserving
Of the title human
Cut me out
And colour me in,
Stitch my seams and stuff me
With foam
I’m an airbrushed supernova, rock and roll
A bisexual hobbyhorse,
A cooking, vacuuming stallion
Who does the ironing, a supper-stud
The word disloyalty
Is not in my vocabulary
Outside I blend in
But not in the bedroom
I’m your own, a doting
Soul of pedigree,
A blank page
Call me chameleon
Call me John
You can pleasure me
Without touching me
I need nothing
I’m your everything,
A catalyst, a jugular,
Please assemble carefully
Slot A in Hole B,
Customise, divide.
