BLESSING

a
blessing
of
age
endurance
and
toxicity
is
that
i
cant
remember
the
name
of
that
box of cocks
who
sat
next
to 
me
in
chemistry
1985

~

him-
left
for
another
school

both us-
turn
up
at
drug parties
social archipelago
199?

~

him-
in a 
look-at-me
move
put
moondance 
on

wept
all
the
way
thru

told
everyone
reminded
him
of
special
times

~

me-
not
chemistry
1985
is
it ?

you box of cocks

i wanted to say

instead-
dude
theres
better
van morrison
to
lose
it
to
than this

~

later-
drove
me
to
within
two miles of home

him-
look-at-me move
said
not enough
speed
in him
to drive

taking
a
risk
this straight
he says 

me-
got
out
on
motorway verge

ignored
hints 
for
gas cash

plucked my joint
out his mouth

and
never
saw
him
again

the box of cocks
