big town blues (i) 
up the kriek
there are 
in the reports of the great 
beer critics
 
super brews 
noted the best in the world 
rightly
 
and the ordinary 
sold like cuttle 
ordinary
 
and in the poetry 
clattering around like undercarriage 
there are names
 
the ordinary 
why does prose use the special 
poetry the ordinary
 
kirin my arse 
i’m invading the verbiage empire 
stealing geuze
 
seeking blonde 
in the boot of my lies 
& gorgonzola
 
for the smell 
that was supposed to be golden charles 
my foot
 
it’s not the ads 
their Fear and Loathing 
their Fortified Fluff
 
it’s the intensity 
yes the sensual intensity 
the flavour’s the dance
 
hey poets here’s a €7 note 
of course it’s a €7 note 
it says so there
 
where i wrote it
