"Damage Limitation" in The Ritz Toilets, 1997
Red carpet, burn marks, blur of piss and Mad Dog 20:20.
Foggy bursts of floral perfume masking ciggies
slyly smoked by giggling under-aged lassies.
Who're you to judge, who're you to tell?

When You're Happy You're Beautiful

of the sun’s smile on my face.
Shining, through glasses.
