Three Poems
I’m waiting for the knocks at the door.
The naked girls in the hall.
The banging of pans and tambourines.
The tip of the hats.

I’m waiting
for all of these things.
Like all the rest of the poor shleps.

Dying A Death
Forty-three years I’ve been a little lass. Practically me whole life. Body stopped growing when I was eight and that was fate telling me how life’d be from then on. S’when I realised, you don’t choose how to live, s’your life what chooses you. So you get on with your life. Make it work for you. And I did, for forty-three years. Made it me work. But I can’t bloody do it anymore. I told Joyce that. Forty-three years with your dick strapped between your legs six nights a week, fifty-two week o’the year; s’too much. Not too much for the wife though.
