ON THE CORNER
Brighton 3/8/2014
This carnival adrift sky washed away in grey
I’m on the caffeine trawling my retrospex
tranquillity-based mass observation:

here come rainbow rioters a percussion of loin pride
maledom princess in a priceless corset
serpent power tattoos the brown arms
those old studded leathers brought out special
trap the walkabout tourists/midriffs of old jazz geezers/
girl in a blue fedora and sharks tooth necklace/
eurasian girl exhausted by seaside jollies seeks refuge in partners/
your partners in helmets scanned painted faces for health and safety
the women just walked away handling hands
pale girl in her dream hat

I was on sidewalk caffeine alert duties
grime man reported squatting in Newcastle Brown
waiting for a change, any change to come
Kim Jong-Un lookalike clones himself to ground zero
I’m on the beat in the pocket no tattoo is taboo
behind plate glass I-spy dope-patterned hot pants

hallo sailor boys dangle hands Captain Mission has landed
tall man in epaulettes salutes gold bomber jackets pinky hats
Hawaian horror shirts/ ELVIS SUPREME BEING
a revolving door aesthetic/bunny ears can’t find the next whiskey bar/
sulking despite pink hair and a coronet/sequinned navels against the world
dump the Red Stripe in her handbag/I LOVE/EAT LOVE
