Lochlan Morrissey
Doctor Fist & His Faithful Companion
Walkt he, swaying, a filthy
halfempty glass bottle
clutched desperately in his
broad, meaty hand.
At his feet trots, simplistically,
a bull-dog, tongue dragging
languidly along the pavement.
He stops, drinks, & groans,
a terrible noise, & cries,
pointing at the mutt:
You've broke my back, you
bitch!
The dog trots on blissfully:
he had sent it deaf years before.
