Electric Tattoo parlor, North London
Skyscraper
Skyscraper, I can hear the purring
Of the clouds when you scratch their bellies
You sway gently as the freight-trains pass
I am safe up here, inside your dream
Of little boxes.
From your window, I think I saw
A tower-block winking at you -
I wave back, just to say
Yes, yes we are handsome today.
Globe Town, Tower Hamlets, London
