OUTSIDE THE DEATH MACHINES GLOW

had a new sweatshirt
          bought for holiday wear

had a golden footballer
          sewn there on its brown tit

i can still almost smell it

          feel the freshness / the treat

      if  i  think  hard  enough

~

was a summer dusk walk 

           under seaside streetlights

197? &

     i  can  still  almost  live  it

if i relax enough 

           into the backward flux

           

outside the 

           death machines glow
