Before The Game
Dried up dusty stools,
Vintage whiskey gathering dust,
Cold chill through open door.
Opening hours. 12.30
Sunday morning.
Flood of green.
White, green. Green white.
"Fuck yer queen".
IRA.
Pint after pint.
Carlsberg. Miller.
Any will do.
Down the street.
Flood of blue.
Tensions high.
Stylish kids
Mixed up in rebellious warfare.
"FUCK YER QUEEN"
"FENIAN BASTARDS"
A solemn cry for help.
Flood of red passing through,
With a puddle forever growing
Darkening the green.
Staining the white.
Flashing blue lights.
Body on bench.
Rush to the theatre.
End time, 2.30 pm.
