chicken burger demolished before Parliament
small box chips on middle seat.
Short curls pasted to sloping forehead.
Ears pinned back to head
a fine pixie boy in man drag
with a plasticine-thick brow bone
and mono-brow regrowth.
eyes hotwired by cayenne grill.
slightly pink shirt, collar open
over three-button suit jacket.
Dad's shoes, black wool socks,
quiksilver backpack.
Must be halfway through an IT internship,
those long fingers like tentacles across the keyboard by day
pressing chips to teen-thick lips
on the way home to second dinner
somewhere before Epping.
