SOBER OR MISSED
 

the first two people
I spoke to in the pub
tonight
were so drunk
that when they spoke
they spat all over me
 
the third person
was either sober
or missed

QUIET MAN
 

ninety per cent
of what
most people say
is bollocks
 
I just say
the ten per cent
that isn't

WISHING AND HOPING
 

standing
in the kitchen
dying
for a drink
holding
a bottle of water
wishing
I was Jesus
