OBSERVATION FROM FUCKTOWN NANDOS



buzz sided petrified hair
with 
piled tops of sculpted ice cream 
or 
yellow cartoon surf waves
over
baby young white faces somehow startled
at
what
theyve
done

and all their trousers - pale stretch denim
or
thin grey jogging fleece
are
all snug carrot shapes
with
loose hanging heavy nappy crotches
make
their torsos long and weak
and
their
legs dwarf stumpy

and their feet wear flat fabric things
their
grandfathers would stroll in brand-new on UK beach holidays
or
stand in self consciously on Norfolk boat decks
lost
now they already got a paper in some strange lollipop shop

and in bold pattern t shirts with tight crew necks 
and
primary colour baby pockets
and
rolled cap sleeves showing weak childs arms
and
pastel feminine cardigans or knitted hoodies
washed out 
and 
flimsy
under englands lame grey

and slung awkward and empty-light
are
small bags of Burberry or Nike
that
hold iphones in rubber coats
and
Super-dry velcro wallets 

no 
knowledge of the decade they emulate
no 
high concepts or cocaine breakfasts
no
brown and beige seventies OD
for
context
of the colour explosion and juxtaposition 
and 
primary 
jazz 
shapes



no one needs to know where this pic is from
