FIGHT NIGHT IN COURTENAY PLACE

FIGHT NIGHT IN COURTENAY PLACE

I'm flagging down
a taxi cab
like I did in
New York 
except
I want to get out 
of this crazy zoo town
escape the frenzy 
the macho baboons
hanging out of the
loud caged bars
the shadows 
echoing down the
dark groping alleys
of hard luck currency.
The wild young birds 
under the trees 
calling obscenities to
the paddy wagons 
full of drunken 
saloon brawlers.
As I sit in the back
of the cab
I watch 
the night's madness staring
through the armoured grills.
I know where you'll be
staying tonight buddy
punching the lights
out of 
intoxicating stars.

Avie.
