Reach for smokes empty
sprint to the garage
this is an emergency
look at the lady
note her kind eyes
twenty Bensons and a Clipper please
bensons sir- outstanding
ducks behind the counter
leaves me looking longingly
at a pristine yellow lighter
this what you had in mind
she says seductively
eyes light up well um
that yellow one looks very…
she stands up and points a gun at me
eyes look at me mentally
I look at the gun intensely
ducking immediately
reach for my Egg card and chuck
it in her general direction
shouting pin numbers 6284 honestly
I curl up in a ball
Christ don’t hurt me.

Back on the sofa watching
Crime stoppers UK smoking with
a large Brandy trying to get
the roses back in my cheeks
thank goodness his wig cam off when it did
saw it through the gaps in my fingers
- about to do myself a mischief
I hate Dom Joly
especially in drag
look up at the ceiling and tut
thinking about stitched up kippers
and good actors
I strike a match and
flick it in to the ashtray.

Probably one of the best poems I have read till now here...like the flow and how u write as things are and not try to structure it like a traditional poem....and ur observation is truly pristine should I say...very enjoyable
