You might think

I would say

No

There is no rule

To say I have to

Fill my boots

With five-minute solos

Awkward

One-liners

Gauche lyrics

Written

On the back of

A napkin

Phrases

Roughly sketched

Meanings hidden

Beneath the sauce

Snippets of prose

Read over dandruff

On the tube

Scratched on walls

Erased from existence

In a spray

Of hostility

Directed at

A wrong’un

Leave it out

Mate

Give me some space

If there is no time

To spare

For thinking

It over

Then

We are

All in trouble.
