YE OLDE NIGHT OUT

What is this foul and fetid petri dish?
Hunched, shivering, soiled culture
Gingham fiddlers strum out filth
With contrived American vowels
Twisting with coils of cigarette smoke
The stench of reheated hatred
Born anew, brewed in the bogs
Christening the gutters
Whilst the drainpipe moustachioed circle jerk
Quaff, quiff and quiver
Along to infantile beats
Tightly held mugs
Of organic British backwash
Spill over like roaming hands
On the cab ride back
The “in her” crowd
Stay behinds
Suckered in by flesh tentacles
Spat out and thriving
Swept, mopped and bleached
A merry go round of the familiar
Resenting, unrelenting, sameness
The umbilical cord of hollow applause
Crows at dawn
A revolving door
Of crossword puzzles
And cocaine bubbles
Friendly disgust
Piss, vinegar and dust
Tattoos and barn dancing
Lounge room jazz romancing
To empty seats
And tired eyes
Hand cooked classics
Served by fascists
Then the middle age lull
Before the slow acceptance
Of what’s to come
The travelling minstrel show
Decked out in checks
Play loud and slow
The same but worse than before
Through half closed lids you spy
A face you know and had
Where boredom meets disgrace my lad
Way past chucking out your thrown
Into the great but too well known
Enveloping blackened skies
Where the watchful moon averts its eyes
Much later on when calm, half dead
The light may find you in your bed
A breathing bruise, a living dread
Then you rouse yourself once more
To give the night another go.
