“MEN BEHAVING BADLY“ 8 July 96

Love is the time,
between the drunken fumble
on Saturday Night
with lager breath
I tower as Godzilla
hoping to devour
invade, impregnate
these loving hands are sandpaper
and mumbles of bullshit in your ear

between then,
and the frenzied grope on a Wednesday night
before a “A Question Of Sport“ and “Men Behaving Badly“
when the house is empty
hoping for the phone not to ring
. When we play at mummies and daddies
up in the bedroom for a few minutes

That’s Love,
all the stuff inbetween.
