Poetry: Going Forward by Jai Knight

Going Forward

During lockdown

if I ever did feel like a prisoner

then it was from the school of the prisoner Charles Bronson

causing bovver wiv the screws (me)

These new gringos tho are mucho loco

a buncha belchers & touchers (all 7)

belching each other’s pet names

belching naturist sing-alongs

belching “It’s your round lover”

This lady I’m seeing’s seriously kinky

craves a fold

fold her anyway she wants

even tucked her into a suitcase one time

clothes folded

sheet folded

fold her away

hospital corners

And so it unfolds, Danger City

known by day as Mark

code breaker by night

dodger by day/night

drugger by night/day/night

dogger by mid/early evenings (except weekends, which he can do til well late)

Lately I’ve been purging myself

of pictures of Mickey

mostly it’s been cathartic

Sandy saw me doin it &
