I don't want his name,
dragging behind me like a dead dog on a lead,
like toilet roll on the sole
of my new Kickers boots,
like a shedded snake skin,
like a second shadow,
like the thick vapour trails
of the Red Arrows,
diesel mixed with coloured dye,
making a mark in the sky.
I don't need a plane because
with my new name I can really fly.
