I bought some Dr. Martens
a leather jacket to go with
T-shirts, logo'd 
Nirvana, *** Pistols, Incubus

but what I wanted to buy 
was the swagger
the intense feeling 
of not giving a ****
I'm going to live forever
and there's nothing you can do 
about it
invincible 
with attitude
spitting in the street

I used to watch The ******
Motorhead 
Conflict

I was there as the Police
went in hard on horseback

but the only attitude I found
was the young kid serving
looking me up and down

thinking

midlife crisis
you fat, balding
grey haired old ***
