Busted Chad
the city to the smalltown to the outskirts
to the poshbit to the outskirts bus I
brings chef's offwhites in a chipfat bag
after a coupleofimports afterwork to a
frailfaced man with uncertainbeard tothe
Pelicanhotel stop and the banging and the
bag 'eads won't leavethe poor unstabbed
alone and my privileged solace stops
between towerpastels and busbeeps and
they's always askin for a fiver more
and the lift dunt work to the fifteenth floor
and he's off a pensionloan summary, a
sadeyed triedandtested, all his working,
a patient, a forgiving giver, rattlingpills for
his ticker, a fella who just wants to shut his
own front door.
