wet grass
he lies down anyway
browbeaten

neo-fascism overtakes Italy
in a disturbing modern trend;
a teenager in the seventies,
I remember the skinhead movement
(was I ever part of it? Probably,
to my lasting shame, in an effort to fit in
with the white, white, wide boys
in the cultural wasteland of Redditch.
Thank all the Dogs it was short-lived,
and my ascent into Punk
something to be proud of still.
