Insults thick, fast

"He's too much of a pussy"    

"You bald nonce"  

terrific thing, social media

"He looks like a fucking leprechaun"     

"You bald bastard"     

connecting people to other people

to bald bastards

"You Irish clown"  

"Oi, you fat Irish cunt – go and suck a big fat dick you gaylord"

in the wooden playpark

in the shade of the trees

woodchips in sandals and dusty toes

sweating in the glare of the polyethylene

of red hot slides cooked by the traces

of sun that muster passage

through the foliage

the smell of sugared beverages

and of toasty groins

her soft Scottish voice

such young skin

mute spouse, decent muscles

observing the progeny swamped by the roar of zip wires zipping

I kissed her neck

cupped her two tits

pressed her white cheek into the bark of the pine

imprinted with its textures

gulleys and rivulets

humped into her clothed buttocks

in a way that resembled happiness

or a reflection of it.
