Volte Face from Misadventures by The Melting Ice Caps

flicking through channels
telling myself
i'm not really watching QVC

a fascinating demo of a heated shelf
i wonder how they get to be
so confident of all they say

"be cautious," says the bedtime play

take it with a pinch of salt
say it's no one's fault
volte face and leave it, baby

swim across the Channel
wish good health
on those who glimpse your goose-fat thighs

a carburettor here
and a clutchbox there
i'm not sure how we'll synchronise
when what was one becomes undone
and all because you won that once

take it with a pinch of salt
say it's no one's fault
volte face and leave it, baby
