Waits.

Grammes,
ounces,
pounds,
groaning sounds
from next doors flat,
scurrying rats,
turf wars,
scores evened,
tensions eased,
lesions lanced,
advance payments of social grants,
chancers,
Soho belly dancers,
night buses,
streets bleeding rain,
cats hissing,
piss in the streets,
girls kissing in heat,
getting beat,
backstreet hugging,
beer chugging,
mugger buggering,
thug loving,
law bending,
tender loving,
boundaries and ties,
do rights and do wrongs,
dying lights,
and sadly sung protest songs,
fact and fiction co-incide,
lines are blurred,
lies revised,
folk chastised for smoking outside,
poisoned products,
chemically blocked tear ducts,
chemicals for weekday thrills,
oil spills,
black billed gulls,
obligatory badger culls,
striped coats sullied,
high court judges bullied by fat wives.
