Kicking cups

Is that it, the end? 

Everyone's leaving 

The doors are open 

As the lights go up 

It must be time as I'm... 

 

Kicking cups 

They scatter around my feet 

Flying around 

Not very discreet, as its 

Time to go 

 

The sound dies down 

As the noise begins 

A wall of chatter 

My ears are shattered  

As I wonder, "where's the music gone?" 

Now I'm...

A natural concert

Surrounded by summer verdancy,

Budgets are exceeded; the helipad’s all booked
Dressing rooms are ready; just hope it’s overl...

Always Down The Front

There’s always one isn’t there
Slopping beer all over his shoes
He’s jostling for position
Hand secure upon the barrier
But his shoulders aren’t quite through
Because a fangirl, already half cut
Is hogging space for two
Arms are sleeves of coloured ink
Hair is blonde and striped in pink
Boobs are large and cupped in lace…
He might try conversation
“I love your tats; the skull, the eagle

floating through windows and doors
billboards and neons glowing
cloying fast on roofs & floors

the children await wide-eyed
