Meet Again Where the Boardwalk Begins

This moment twists in on itself
A cruel freak show contortionist
Who stares agape, tear-carved
Deltas from his made up eyes.

If only it would twist into a pretzel
With lots of salt
That we’d eat with mustard.
Two kids on a boardwalk,

Pride

Brighton saw a rainbow
but there wasn’t any rain
Throngs lined all the city streets
And Pride shone bright again

Carnival time

It’s a wild time animal, loud and fierce
The scariest thing we’ve seen for years
It’s a bad hair day all scraggy and long
With the drums and the tams and the animal song
