Liquor Lure, from Collected Poems (NSFW)



It gets you out of your head to start with.
Secondly, the house of your choice will have the happiness of a married home, but
on tap. Sex by the glass. A range of professionally prepared dishes of decent food
You can enjoy for once. Discuss the pressing issues of the day. Such as who
should press the button on the satellite remote? Who should press for damages. And
who should press your shirts. Who should vote. Should we take a vote on it maybe?
And should we fuck. After that, you can proceed to noisier venues, where the sound
of kids being groped is drowned by that of epileptic drum machines on crack.
Pull a teenager on the pill, imagine what she’d look like on her back, buy her a drink
perhaps, after slipping her Rohypnol and getting her separated from the pack. Phone
her a taxi. Call her a whore. Rummage through her clothes and leave her naked
on the stairs of a student flat. Or failing that, do her outside anonymously in the
street. All depends whether you want to make it to the fight, inevitably breaking out
across town. As we puke to random strangers trying to speak
the smoked and pickled languages of love.
