Читать книгу How You Might Know Me - Sabrina Mahfouz - Страница 11

if you want to catch a quick death

stand outside school gates smoking a cigarette.

if you want to make it particularly speedy

then I’d advise making it primary school gates,

ones where kids wear caps shorts blazers ties

you know the type of gates I mean POSH.

if you realise you don’t really want to die,

shout at the gates I’m older than you’ll ever be so yeh

step to me, show me what you got, bet it’s less than a dead moth

I could bury you under these gates and what would you do?

getting all ghetto on them might gain you a few months

or alternatively lean on the gates with fag in enervated lips

point out the dad that picked you up like milk last week

say, oh phillip, I didn’t know you liked these back gates too

watch the folded eyes divert to the microscopic, marvelling

whilst you smoke undisturbed at the gates, grandkids running over.
