John Bryan on the Other Side of the
Goon
desire of mine,
walking home
from the pub
cutting football oval
scissored leg incisions
blighted & streetlightless
stumble across
like tripping through
underbush
three smashed sixteen yr olds
drinking 2lt red wine
gouged out of it's box
trouser fly humming
to chants premeditation
snatch from weak
fingers the silver cask
as if i clutch their very breasts
& bellow at frail faces
' LADIES LADIES,
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DRINK GOON !!!!
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DRINK GOON !!!!'
