None of us are really sure

We drink tea - some with the teaspoon still in it
and we live in strange places with kitchens
kitchens with wooden doors and ice-cream 
and we go out to markets
with hats 
to buy bananas - who knew hats liked bananas
some close their curtains at night
not hats that is - bananas 
mostly on Tuesdays
when tyres of cars squeal on wet roads 
they have brothers who don't smoke
some have sisters who did
some people raise good points
others have guns and need help 
they run launderettes instead
and trains go past these launderettes
they don't need to wash their clothes -  because they're trains
trains don't ever want to stop 
although stop and start is what trains are supposed to do 
I guess carrying your home on your back is very tiring - you ask a snail
some get bread from bakeries to play tennis with I think - did you know snails played tennis?
None of us are really sure
