a "hard" brexit means: what the americans call
the 2nd amendment... and frankly: also the 1st.

so i tried to figure it out,
if i could get away with it -
in full public view...

put a knife into my pocket -
length wise?
   i'd have to repeatedly stab
someone to **** the person -
or perhaps i just have
deep pockets...

never mind...

        it actually is illegal to carry
a knife in public on
the streets of england,
but, hell... **** it, let's give it a shot...

walked into a supermarket,
took a litre of whiskey,
a beer and the following:

a bramley apple,
   a lemon,
      a discount packet of rasberries,
and a packet of sushi...

then i strode out,
sat on a public bench beside
a roundabout at collier row,
where, almost in ear-shot's length
a black youth was stabbed,
and began eating...

entrée? zee himbeeren...

peeled the lemon,
carved a slice of the bramley,
lodged the knife into the apple
in full view of the public,
opened the box of sushi,
took a pick at a fat juicy
slum-bug of rice with salamon
on it,
   placed it on the makeshift
lemon and apple pizza sideways,
dashed some soy sauce onto
the rice...

     and?

                wham bam, thank you m'am -
face like a ******* gerbil.

of course the meal was interchanged,
the smaller sushi pieces were
only eaten with wasabi,

      and then with the larger ones:
ditto,  but with pickled ginger to boot.

the remaining apple that was leftover
became an "digestif"...
   while the remaining lemon
     was used to wash off the scent of
fish off my hands...
subsequently juiced up hands
          were used to rub a ******...

and the knife... was perfectly in full
view of the public...

i could have been ratted out,
but then again,
this is essex,
   probably the only sensible part
of england;

but that's how you eat sushi
in public...
       and mind you?
  that lemon + apple combo.?
  not too bad, i have to admit.
