Manchester Morning

Manchester Morning

Manchester Morning--
condoms and beer cans
at the edge of the gutter

warm rain falling
from a colour-blind sky

Sean Paul and Ja Rule,
watching people miming
to the bass

Mexican Wave:
raw sound from the Stretford End

snake lights flashing,
run-around and windmill
on the dance floor

the hands of the masseuse
blanking out my mind

the sizzling smell
of spices in the frying pan
"khaana thyyaar hai!"

clothes off, lights out…
a dream about fame
