Jane from Hastings
got me a 25g score of smack
from some ex of hers
we spread foil and crumble
a small amount of the powder
onto the foil
lighting it up from underneath
you got to put it on the player
Sweet Jane
while smoking this shit
through a rolled fifty pound note

Jane’s hair was bleached almost white
it was dry and split
her teeth crooked
and gapped
she wore tight jeans
and a Throbbing Gristle t-shirt
which I was going to steal
at some point
her body felt pimpled
sweaty
anorexic
umami
she shaved her pubis
which i liked
but never really understood

Hastings is such a shithole
i only go there for Jane
and the decent smack she can get
by smugglers easy boating
from Europe
