“Me and JG Ballard” — by Dan Melchior’s Broke Revue

me and jg ballard, we walk down different streets
going to the supermarket for something to eat
jg ballard gets there first, buys some frozen peas
they were the last packet and there’s none there left for me

me and jg ballard in our respective rooms
i’m watching my tv, he’s contemplating doom
he opens up his microwave, retrieves his frozen peas
i decide to take a walk and turn off itv

jg ballard’s sitting there eating with his mouth
wondering what his next novel is gonna be about
on my way out to the park i pass before his drive
he’s no idea i’m out here, i’ve no idea he’s inside

this morning jg ballard he drinks a cup of tea
his eyes are red and blurry, he didn’t get much sleep
i decide to buy some milk, bump into an old friend
i talk to her, buy the milk then go back home again”
