TOILET TOOTS



i
piss
into
another
Armitage Shanks
down
on
a
Whiff Away cone

im in a supermarket cafe pisser
reminded of the boozers up town
by 
the
framed
ads
on
the
wall

clubnights and party websites
hotlines and affiliated plumbers

~

theyd always be mumbling
in the cubicles up town

stifled snorts of laughter 
amplified off the tile

loud nose clearing
sharp inhalations

gasps guffaws
an urgent impatient controlling vibe

then a clusterfuck of men 
looking half raped
would
fall
out
together

their 
eyes
all childlike guilt

that turns to empty bravado 
and shout-talking in lists
they
fight themselves 
back down the stairs

~

id be emptying myself
into old Armitage
watching out the corner of my eye

and sometimes
theyd 
be
a
forgotten wallet in there
fringed in fine white dusting

maybe a rolled up cityboy fifty
on the pissy floor

or
just
some sick
on a turd

~

id go back to sit down
happy with my heavy drinks

id
be
going
soft
inside

id feel like home and nowhere
in tune
with the bars 
stained timber 
loser
serenade

~

if i had any wraps of madness
theyd
be
saved
for when im somewhere

can
control the music

id rather 
be
in
private
when i talk total balls
hooked on rolling news
laughing at my shoes

~

gurning faster-miles-an-hour
and playing only intros
is
best
with
few
witnesses
smashed in a similar delusion
