      A poem by the songwriter Peter Hammill
      “FLIES

      As I opened the back door,
      two flies were copulating on the cooker:
      I found this very significant.
      Late at night, my hand groped
      for the aerosol.

      They stayed together for the first
      few seconds, wings scorched in the sudden fire,
      minds disintegrating in the deadly mist.
      Quite suddenly, the male tore himself away
      from his penis
      and dropped to the floor.
      She remained, rolling around on the white enamel
      and then fell through a crack into the oven.
      Perhaps she had been a virgin
      and thought this was what always happened.

      I ate my egg
      with a few pangs of conscience.
      Later that night these disappeared
      when another fly
      shat on me from the light bulb
      above my bed.”
