CORRECTAR LA LETRA

Letra : ‘Strike two. My mind works’

*

Strike two. My mind works
quickly and well these days,
and I like the look of myself of late:

a little more meat
around the face, a little more bite
at the back of the lungs,
a little more point to the tip of my tongue -
no wonder I've been smiling
like a melon with a slice missing.

At twenty eight
I'm not doing great,
but considering I came from the River Colne
and its long, lifeless mud,
I'm doing good.
