[Newspoetry] Evidently Chickentown

[gillespie william k]

EVIDENTLY
 CHICKEN TOWN

 the fucking cops are fucking keen
 to fucking keep it fucking clean
 the fucking chief's a fucking swine
 who fucking draws a fucking line
 at fucking fun and fucking games
 the fucking kids he fucking blames
 are nowehere to be fucking found
 anywhere in chicken town

 the fucking scene is fucking sad
 the fucking news is fucking bad
 the fucking weed is fucking turf
 the fucking speed is fucking surf
 the fucking folks are fucking daft
 don't make me fucking laugh
 it fucking hurts to look around
 everywhere in chicken town

 the fucking train is fucking late
 you fucking wait you fucking wait
 you're fucking lost and fucking found
 stuck in fucking chicken town

 the fucking view is fucking vile
 for fucking miles and fucking miles
 the fucking babies fucking cry
 the fucking flowers fucking die
 the fucking food is fucking muck
 the fucking drains are fucking fucked
 the color scheme is fucking brown
 everywhere in chicken town

 the fucking pubs are fucking dull
 the fucking clubs are fucking full
 of fucking girls and fucking guys
 with fucking murder in their eyes
 a fucking bloke is fucking stabbed
 waiting for a fucking cab
 you fucking stay at fucking home
 the fucking neighbors fucking moan
 keep the fucking racket down
 this is fucking chicken town

 the fucking train is fucking late
 you fucking wait you fucking wait
 you're fucking lost and fucking found
 stuck in fucking chicken town

 the fucking pies are fucking old
 the fucking chips are fucking cold
 the fucking beer is fucking flat
 the fucking flats have fucking rats
 the fucking clocks are fucking wrong
 the fucking days are fucking long
 it fucking gets you fucking down
 evidently chicken town
