Concrete Martin ~ after Satre

Went lurking at lunchtime

Not that there is a lunchtime – that went a long time ago

Went

Along with walk shorts

Blue eye shadow

And good old Lion Red

There were no connections just sad, sad looks

 

Seated behind the engineering block

Alone

Safe from a crazed humanity let loose

The madness of a bullshit world

Where there is

Nothing to believe

Nothing to believe in

 

Suddenly he was there

In his suit

Calling me ‘Cinderella in the corner’

Calling me out

He was hiding too

No doubt

‘Hell is other people’

 

Florid, bristly-cheeked, he laughed

Toothy

We exchanged cultured nothings

Laughed

Whipped our pain into a frenzy

Then he waddled off

I kept rowing

We should all hate those victims

Who respect their executioners?
