Acid

Do you think about me,

When the smoke raises its acid face?

A slap of water on your face,

When you dive.

Does it remind you of me?

When you down in deep distress…

A pungent gulp of whiskey,

slithering down your throat.

What did I taste like?

I can’t help but remember.

When dirty kids on streets

With faces black as the smoking tyre

Hauled from the garage, punctured…soggy

Warmth against penetrating cold

I can’t help but remember

A bite on the tip of my manhood

Chill against the tiring heat.
