KEN BENOBI




there was a man i used to work with
looked like obi wan
if obi wan was five foot nothing
with pale navy tattoos
under the white pubes
foaming up his forearms

i called him ken benobi
but not on the 
Herald Of Free Enterprise 
disaster anniversary 
when he would go to the darkside

swearing about french lawyers
swearing about euro courts
gripping our arms for emphasis
with a grip like a vise

he would be in no mood 
for my nick names
and it definitely wasnt the day
for me to realise and comment
sixs week late
that his ken benobi 
beard was long gone 



Zeebrugge Herald of Free Enterprise disaster remembered ...
