Analysis of Bacon n Chips.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Her head was heavy.
Living off milk and yoghurts was taking its toll.
Hit and miss, she would eat bacon, tiding her along but it was like dice never hitting a roll.
After tasting fries potatoes would always taste too strong.
'Till eventually they took her,
filling her tiny feet with needle holes.
Air like mustard gas her tunnels of breath clogged with tubes.
