“Sunshine coast”
The coast always reminds me
Of sandy foot prints in the
Hall on the morning
When Davey came back
From a drunken beach amble
To watch the mud crabs in the
Window of the chip shop
As 4am rolled beside him.
The coast always reminds me
Of a down syndrome guy
In a public enemy t-shirt
At a karaoke bar singing
Rappers delight and
His gangster compatriots
Writing raps on beer mats.
It reminds me
Of a sock full with dollar coins
From the royal hotel slot machines
A beer bottle on the night
Stand filled with water
And waking up to
“cum on my tattoo”
Still loading on my iphone.
Peter Blakely -
Crying in the chapel.
The coast reminds me
Of late night ice creams
With two pretty girls
In the roughest parts of town.
As usual,
The simple words
Find me first and
Leave me with complex
Lines that lay like
Rape victims
Across the white
Of the computer screen.
Broken
And
Worn
Out.




"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
