Sport 16: Autumn 1996
The Back of Me
The Back of Me
Anyone interested in my good side
Will be glad to see the back of me
As I check the horizon and
Beneath
Try to stop my farewell parties
Being too gay
I will marry my shoes and
Honeymoon well away from
My well-wishers and couldn’t-make-its and
Especially those who for so long and
With such vigour
Have desired my honeymoon
