Jimmy Biggs - Must

And what drops down from the canopy
But canopic jam jars, jarring in me
The same ‘me’ that rocks like the fox through your dreams
Then atop everything loses balance from beams
And slops so serenely from this canopy.

This cupboard was used to store what you feel
Take rakes, suppose hoes to be a barium meal
The same ‘meal’ that makes blokes whimper and choke
When they take off the blind only to find
It was all just a joke.

I tried to possess every heart that sank
They weren’t impressed by what was dank
I need the damp
It’s my vice; my clamp
Must is – a must

It’s easier to think of these people as Gods
As opposed to rows of those they’ve probably wronged

They rest on a pedestal,
Suggest they don’t breathe at all
But conspire to respire
From their spires, far higher
Than you or I, sire
Can try to aspire to.

In a specific bid to avoid some flack, he
Mythically hid in a sack of fleas,
Slipping amid the Japanese
Slipping amid the Japanese

I tried to possess every heart that sank
They weren’t impressed by what was dank
I need the damp
It’s my vice; my clamp
Must is – a must

Must is a tonic that my mind has been mulling
It’s fast – supersonic – and trying with dulling
The last solitary line of a colour
A task on its pride it’ll try to honour


I vibrate with fear
That it takes me here
And makes me doubt the ins, the outs.
If clever is better – the barium meal
Then which phantom decides
Whether apparent is real?

If one of them slips into bed right beside me

Doesn’t even try to pretend that he’s hiding

Silently laughs into both ears while I’m crying

Makes me weep and pray to a God I’m surprised I’m confiding in -

Then it damn well better come to me in a form

That I can dress up and tell it to warm up a room

I tried to possess every heart that sank
They weren’t impressed by what was dank
I need the damp
It’s my vice; my clamp
Must is – a must
