rather like the overripe prom date’s indecision
whether to accept a ride home with her drunken
football escorts, knowing full well she may be
killed in a crash, or at best, get date-raped.

Or rather like a crowd of mawkish onlookers,
watching without breathe as a gang of toughs
beats the faesces out of an elderly man for fun.
Torn between fascination, fear and frigidity.
None of them saw anything on the police blotter.

Dancing with the Devil ‘neath the pale moonlight,
until the day when the Devil rips out their gold
fillings, and throws them into the crematorium.

Hastings, “may now look in the mud for what is
left of British prestige.”
