in
shrunk cap-sleeves
picked
for
swollen gym guns
and
long shorts
showing tattoo shapes
painted
on
powder-bulked calves
fucktown monkeys
banter over-loud
dull bravado
ALRIGHT LUV to the barmaid
but
they
never
meet her blonde
bambi-mother
eyes
while
the missus
sits
silent and lost
and
disinterested
and
sitting with
legs wide
their
balls clearly humungous
they
bounce a kicker boot
up down up down
and
jangle car keys
and
clutch a phone
and
look their missus
up down up down
who's
sitting silent
and lost
and
disinterested
then
their
mobile bleeps
a
download ringtone
and
piss-hole
piggy eyes
focus middle distance
as
self-importance
lifts their
babystubble chin
and
its all YER MATE, OUT IN PUB INNIT
and
after the call
they're silent
and lost
and
disinterested
and
stare out the window
at a blonde
across the street
under
the Costa sign
with
Esso garage
petrol prices
and shes silent
and lost
and
disinterested
her dead gaze
on
her
pierced nails
