POETRY: BOILING KETTLES WHILST SPEAKING BY PAUL TRISTRAM
“He’s arrogant when he’s drunk
and he’s drinking all the time.
He thinks he’s special that one.
He gets violent if you fuck with him
and pissed if you talk behind his back.
I’ve tried my best to reason with him
but he just won’t give in and see things
all my way, I give up, I truly do?”
Said the Blackened Pot, Martyredly
whilst everyone else in the kitchen,
including the mirror facing him,
sat quietly listening wide-mouthed
and with head-shaking wonderment.

POETRY: SATYRIASIS BY PAUL TRISTRAM
I cannot remember 90% of their faces.
Names? I didn’t forget, just never asked in the first place.
When I drink alcohol, it becomes much worse,
I’m hitting them on the trot, one after the other,
like I’m scoring points in some absurd, neurotic genital game.
(Christ, I make myself sick and twinge all at the same time!)
It’s like lancing the same boil over and over again,
no joy or passion, just a quick release of spunk and nothing.
I’ve become almost Vampiric with it, I can sense
who’s ‘cocking’ and who’s not, in mere seconds.
The filthy ones draw me in like bra hooks to a magnet.
It’s like craving for destruction, hammering another nail
into Virtue’s coffin and banging Innocence into a wet patch.
The Full Moon’s a cunt also, with its waxing and waning,
it’s all liquid flesh in this caper; I have a permanent hard-on
for three entire days and nights each month, it’s exhausting.
It’s an itch I’ll never quite scratch, and I’ve tried from every angle,
It’s my delicious, stinking, stinging, red raw curse
that makes me loveless and indifferent to your sentiment and affection.

POETRY: KNIFE, AXE, SWORD, SPEAR (BUT I’M STILL UNDER DRESSED) BY PAUL TRISTRAM
Some nights The City is as soothing
and as playfully friendly as a lover,
sometimes as cold and indifferent as an Ex.
Other times it’s a barbaric battleground,
where the women in mini skirts and high heels
are merely in disguise, they are really Vikings
on the rampage and you are the only thing
standing in the way of them entering Valhalla.
Every pub is full of Football Hooligans
and never from the Team that you like to watch.
The Police are mob-handed and only waiting
upon eye contact to throw the entire weight
of your Country’s Laws down upon you.
Even the Subway Beggar’s are aggressive,
with broken Port bottles in their dirty hands
and insults streaming out of their tortured mouths.
It’s times like these that you need an escape plan,
time to head back to your local watering hole,
you’ll ‘read all about it’ in tomorrow’s papers
and be glad that you detoured back to wisdom
and ‘learnt the hard way’ common sense.
