alone
it isn’t easy being an alcoholic
who has difficulty swallowing,
but I persevere; I go to pubs
at times when they’re mostly unfrequented, and find a dark corner where I can sip by myself

grief is for you alone
bloke in the pub says to
no one in particular,
“I miss her.” but then no one particularly cares

scared of the inevitable
elderly bloke fearful of dying
should be respected for his lack
of false bonhomie and is trying
to be frank, just get off his back ..

I can’t think
to be quiet and contemplative
is all I aspire to, but since there is so much else going on in my head l’ve just poured another drink

mate, you’re just making it worse
the bloke on the train regaled
us all with his conversation on the phone to his friend
seemingly hung up to his eyes
in embarrassment he continued to pretend to converse ..

stuff you shouldn’t say to the waiter
perhaps impotence when you’re in your sixties isn’t a big deal, but my wife thinks it is. I think I’ll have the fish ..

these times won’t last
my mum’s in her nineties,
she was a child in the
second world war;
I was just a kid in the
nineteen sixties, but hey, that’s
all in the past

the last thing I’d eat
blokes ask themselves things
like this all the time in the pub: if you knew you were dying,
what’d be the last thing you’d eat
would be tomatoes ..

seeing her I tarried
liked the look of her and in case that’s offensive let’s just say I liked something about her and leave it at that a year later we married

bored ghost on the street at rush hour
they don’t so much march
around me, but head towards me, expecting, no doubt, that I’ll disappear before they see
me, I don’t care ..
