We were children in a garden

a treacle sponge pudding

'mind you don't burn your mouth' 

Robin Trower on Rock Goes to College

pudding in a bowl in the dark

the black and white portable tv balanced

on the back room shelf while

their news or soaps are on in the front

pudding with a moist sponge and sticky sauce

I didn't know much about him

a Great British tradition with retro charm

but hungry for music, any music

feathery textured no custard thanks

boiled or was it steamed in a can, lick

hadn't thought much of recent episodes but

fish face Trower's loving every moment of this

'why don't you turn the light on in there?'

lick the spoon, maybe he's for the older brothers

I didn't know how you could be the singer

when the band had someone else's name

Daydream was the highlight, golden syrupy notes

coming through the tinny tiny speaker

comfort food music memory leakage in the dark
