GETS ON WOMAN:

Fierce beauty of the dance hall,
One time razor of hell,
Copper Blonde,
Skin-tight Black,
Patent slipper feet,
Flap,
Bounce the one foot,
Rhythm,
Never stops,
One leg crossed,
Marking time with internal clock,

Tattooed backs of arms,
Threatening,
Stares across the isle,
Through her young lover,
Head shaved up the sides,
Flat as tarmac,
Top greased erect as a stickleback,
Fred Perry,
Black,
Stone-washed jeans,
Clean as new pins,
Fat bulge in the pocket,
Loose on medication
