This poem is about David Copeland, the london nail bomber who bombed The Admiral Duncan gay pub, killing three and injuring seventy-nine.
"The Jew, devil's disciples and peoples of mud must be driven out of our land," he wrote.



Tick...tick...tick...tick...Boom!




I remember the scene

 

men moving  

 

sweating

 

The DJ puts the needle to the vinyl

 

sound fills the room:

 

Tick

 

tick

 

tick

 

tick

 

Boom!

 

The pub 

was packed full of men

men out to meet other men

men out to have fun.

men whose only crime 

was to indulge

“the love that dare not speak it’s name”

Men of all shapes and sizes

men of all ages 

 

dancing, 

 

sweating, 

 

meeting, 

 

writhing.

 

The DJ puts the needle to the vinyl

 

sound fills the room:

 

Tick

 

tick

 

tick

 

tick

 

Boom!

 

The man with the suit 

presses his target against the wall 

and thier lips touch,

he runs his fingers 

through the other man’s hair,

the smell of aftershave 

is intoxicating.

Hips grind against hips.

 

 

The young man with the short hair

leaves a sports bag by the bar

 

 

The DJ puts the needle to the vinyl

 

sound and body parts fill the room:

 

Tick

 

tick

 

tick

 

tick

 

Boom!
