Opening Night

I dedicate a colour to
my dearest friends and family who
so solemnly and nicely dressed
come visit me, I must confess
I feel like Gena might
upon her opening night

Fiery red I give my momAnd so the hounding begins
my dad transparant he is gonea sudden crack on the shins
my sisters I give black and whitewhip stinging say oh hello
and guys I hate well fuck 'em bright you look like someone I know
my friends get shades of bluewhile sniggering up your sleeve
and ginger green to youa kid a joke just like we
guys in a schoolyard aged five
the baddest honcho alive
track down your friends to a bar
trace over steps in a car
say that's a pretty excuse
make mine a pineapple juice
bugbears are plenty round here
give him a clip on the ear
says dad infront of TV
decide channel randomly
I feel something coming on
a funny turn or a wrong
decision made casually
like dad infront of the TV
regurgitation and goo
ten squillion eyes watch as you
put up a pretty good fight
on this your opening night
on this your opening night
on this your opening night
on this your opening night
on this your opening night
