1980s SCHOOL WAS





COLD ELECTRO

the electro from Soho and Basildon
is
cold as a Chiltern cave
and
speaks
to
my alienation
much more
than
the pop stars
poncing about
like
pompadour peacocks
on Top Of The Pops
on wednesday
after
The Muppet Show
from www.festivalsforall.com


I WAS GOOSE

at
school
everyones seen Top Gun
so
everyones an Iceman or a Maverick
but
because
am in a low pressure flat spin
and
i
watch
1950s allegorical westerns
on
BBC2 instead
apparently
that
makes me Goose
not

SPAMMING TEFALS

everyone is slapping everyone else
on
the
forehead
then
shouting SPAM or TEFAL
or 
punching legs and arms
with
the
middle knuckle sticking out
then
shouting DEAD LEG or DEAD ARM
and
we
all
call each other FASCISTS
tho
no one
knows
what it means
from youtube.com



FRIGGING IN THE RIGGING

untouchable big kids
make
cudgels
in
woodwork
banging nails thru balsa wood
to
hit smaller kids with
all
the
way
home
reciting Beastie Boys lyrics
in their faces
like gospel

bruises and wounds
lied away
round the supper table

TRIO

everyone is obsessed
with
WHO COULD HAVE WHO
in a playground ruck
that
never
happens

we all work out odds like junior bookies

and everyone is obsessed
with
WHO GOT OFF WITH WHO
and
tho
no one
tells the truth
if
someone gets three fingers in
they
are allowed to sing
the
song
from
the Trio choc bar ad
from youtube.com



JIMMY HILL

when the school was set on fire
and
the library burned down
and
everything was stinking and brown
the
police came up to my art class
because
someone fingered my name
and
tho
i was drawing a man with his face on fire
it
wasn’t me who did it

it was a cocky arsehole
with a Jimmy Hill chin
who did it

he used to make supply teachers cry
during
the
union strikes

now
he
is
gone

ARE YOU CAS ?

and
all the in-kids
wear clothes
with tiny animals
over the left tit
and 
exotic Italian names
and
always
ask
poorer kids
ARE YOU CASUAL ? 
ARE YOU ?  
ARE YOU CAS ?

what do you say when everyone is CAS ?
with
Nike this
and
Fila that

Puma Top Winners
get you by at a distance
but
they’re
not

BLUE PETERS CULTURAL IMPACT

Joey was the insult
i heard
all day everywhere
in all my schools
till
we
had
this one assembly
and
they said THREE OUT OF EVERY TEN OF YOU WILL DIE FROM AIDS
and
after
that
Homo
was
the insult
i heard
all day everywhere
in all my schools
