“… Just Pineapple Flavoured Wall Stickers, And More Bitches, Please.”

by Paul Tristram / October 30th, 2022

“… hiya, my name’s Pauly…
and I’ve been Warned
to stay away
from your ‘Hovel’
[their word not mine]
… and to quickly
glance in the other
direction if our eyes meet.
Yet, I’ve heard
that you ‘Flicker’
[Almost] Translucent
when Angered…
and sculpt ‘Weapons’
from ‘Words’
… hissed… through
the fumes of
Curmudgeon in Defence
… and I’ve come
to Insult… and Fight you…”
