Redress

Got a fourfold vision, assailed without break

I sail without break, I am the surface breaker

You are fast, the better rapier handler

I have been handled, kneeling panting

Offer me a hand if first I will kiss your sandal

My mail breaker mistakes you for Dracula, stakes you

I walk up to the woman in the red dress

You’d say you look nice, I whisper

Ten ton polar bear

She’s shtum, mum’s the word, waiting to see the kipper I’ve stitched her

It broke the ice, I smile shly

My smile is not a million dollars, they’re 10 for 3 in Guiney’s

Look on her face of puzzlement like I’m describing Guinness Bread in Chinese

I’m out of touch, I’m old money, I’m too long in mediaeval Oxford

I’m done up like night at the Roxbury, I bury rocks in socks inside nikes new outta the box

Got the womb jelly still on ‘em, tag on the bally around Stillorgan

Gerry told me keep receipts

Bus sign seats are not for feet

Sky signs brine will drink these streets

Ginger, not ginger at all about rejecting me, septum ring freegan

Sorta vibe, she puzzles at my jibes and skies her eyes

At my vulgar attempts to part thighs with pretty lies

Sees through my disguise, downwind of her my mask of rice

Slides like pizza down a wall when an argument was the evening’s prize.
