Hi

My name is Richard

But I am known

As Sick Boy

After the movie

As I have dyed my hair blond

It really suits me

Or at at least my

Auntie Zeeland

Thinks it does

I am on the way to see my friend

Timothee and his sister Israel

Their father is a film maker from Chile

And is quite famous in Europe

But less so in this country

Timothee is a gay but ashamed of it

(I am not a queer far from it)

And Israel and I are planning

To travel with him through Europe

As a form of a conversion therapy

Showing him what girls are really like

He has an incredibly beautiful sister

Who I have a casual relationship with

She has the most beautiful breasts

So perky and feminine

They are the breasts of an angel

Fuck your sister Timothee

You will not find many more beautiful

I must say that I am looking forward

To the whole adventure as I love travelling

But not today as the trains have

Been cancelled or delayed

Because of a bridge strike

In the west of the country

My train has travelled along

This avoiding route twice

Third time lucky I hope

I have passed stations

That I did not know existed

(I grew up in this area)

I have seen the church

With a railway tunnel beneath it

(so much for the peace of the dead)

What I did not know was that the church

Still shows the scorch marks of a wartime fire

(if you were buried there bad luck just bad luck)

In a couple of hours I will be with my friends

I am ready to travel

Aunt Zeeland tick

Russian poetry book for Israel tick

Flowers for Timothee tick

We have stopped at the station

At the head of the avoiding line

It is a dark station full of shadows

Lit only by the light of the day

Some say it does not exist

I assure you it does

As I have used the vending machine

In a way all I want is to rest on Israel’s breasts

And prohibit the memories of this journey

But that will not happen

As Timothee will play his records

And we will dance

Hopefully without our shirts

With alcohol numbing our senses

In a way that will be acceptable

Paris Rome Milan Berlin

These will be the major cities

That we will be visiting

I hope that our plan works

Who knows but I must keep Israel onside

Maybe another fiction soon

Who knows

Sick Boy
