blue tramp-piss shoes

Dribbles of tramp expelled Tennents Special are sketching maps of Malaysia
across the Clerk Sreet pavements
waiting for blue heels to stumble
tsunamis and earthquakes through the cigarette butt cities
on the way home
from the pub

45 minutes from now those blue shoes will be tangled in sheets
that should not have tramp urine ground into their pillows
and it will cross my mind to tell you, seconds before you take
the shoes
in the tangles
with the legs
and I forget

47 minutes from now these thoughts of blue shoes etiquette
will be replaced by a peripheral vision
of television static
and the citizens of Malaysia will suffer as
civilizations are drenched in new pavement expulsions.

Meanwhile the stained blue shoes kick and scream and twitch
around anatomies,
unconcerned.
