The Morning After

Waking up, there was blood all over my boxers
you broke my cock,
I'm not kidding.

As you sang in the kitchen frying eggs,
I sang Leonard Cohen and crushed a cockroach with your favourite mug.

When you told me you were growing attached and I acted with humility
I was proud and full of myselfthe breaker of hearts and the crusher of cockroaches
- all with a broken cock.

eventually on the way home
on the back of a motorbike I sang "Mr Loverman"
and the rider responded "Shabba"
at that precise moment I realised
you would take another man into your bed by nightfall
and in the morning
wiping blood from your lips,
softly whisper that you were falling fast for him
