Why do they bother me
like summer gnat bites,
these three lads, loitering ?
Why am I uneasy with them
as they swagger past
slagging the shapelessness of one girl
describing the roundness of another
in words that grate and degrade.
Grimy words of sex and toilets
litter loud conversations of bravado
in breaths of stale smoke
and flat beer.
Why do I care enough to be concerned
and not enough to touch ?
Oh, the conscience
of luke-warm spit !
