The concept of binge-drinking exists only in the UK. How many of us imagine it will lead to this?
he staggers on the wrankled road of dreams,
damp, stinking,
lost
Gisalite luv,
and a breath filled with flotatious fumes
fix my eyes like acid gas
Whilst the banana wavers in my sight
like a weapon of minor destruction,
black eye staring,
drooping.
I light the cigarette, can it hurt?
Lined face alight in a flash of flame,
draw and smoke.
Fankoo
and as I move on I sense his wavering step departing,
homeward?
I hear a bottle slosh-glug, another toke on the root of the problem,
dropping the banana, unravelling the brain.
Turning the corner from my sight.
I look back and see
banana alone on the cold paving, lost.
Alcoholic, gone.

Alcoholic
With the banana held out before him, as curved as the bow in his knees,he staggers on the wrankled road of dreams,
damp, stinking,
lost
Gisalite luv,
and a breath filled with flotatious fumes
fix my eyes like acid gas
Whilst the banana wavers in my sight
like a weapon of minor destruction,
black eye staring,
drooping.
I light the cigarette, can it hurt?
Lined face alight in a flash of flame,
draw and smoke.
Fankoo
and as I move on I sense his wavering step departing,
homeward?
I hear a bottle slosh-glug, another toke on the root of the problem,
dropping the banana, unravelling the brain.
Turning the corner from my sight.
I look back and see
banana alone on the cold paving, lost.
Alcoholic, gone.
