The height of bad boy expression,
fifteen years old and hanging
on the corner, holding your mate’s fag
in one unseen shaking hand
whilst casually sipping
on a can of cheap, devilishly sick
beer, brought from the off licence
as he looked over your shoulder
at every car that went past in case
it was an off duty policeman
ready to nail his arse to the ground
for supplying you with the means of courage
to talk to the girl who was flavour
of the month in your diary,
