young men drinking
young men not thinking
this is the scene
outside the pubs on a weekend night
they pick fights with anyone
it doesn't matter who
the dutch courage is well imbued
a king-hit
a cowardly
strike
an innocent bystander
lies in the gutter
with a split open head
the pavement
stained with smatterings
of blood
young men drinking
young men not thinking
of the bystander's
damaged brain
