Hawaii 89


Fuck me that pink, that peach!
Slap it  on a cap that says Hawaii 89.
It’s like sex on the beach
exploding from a concrete cup.

It flooded here last month.
Poor Nick  was up all Christmas Eve
just bailing out his bog. I brought him jam, 
stood across his lake of lawn
and called and called his name.
The water in the fields is draining now,
and you should see the green it’s left behind,
oh man, in this light, it’s like felt.

Fuck me that pink, that peach!
Slap it  on a cap that says Hawaii 89.
It’s like sex on the beach
exploding from a concrete cup.

Not long ago if you had leant 
against my chest, your elbow 
would have gone right through. Today
I rapped it like a newly tiled
wall, nah, that’s solid that is, yeah. I chase
the sunset west, I want to get my greedy
nose in it but as I leave the town it slips 
behind the skeletons of trees. 
I was so close.
