/between 12.30 and 1am

Yellow balloons float in the corner.  Michael is on a chair, Guinness in a plastic pint cup.  Birds tweet on a soundtrack.  “Go save the Queen” and the pips.  Porn soundtrack.  Cars.  People scattered and slumped tuning in and out.  Legs of a skinned lamb poke out from under.  Glitter and shot glasses on the floor, an empty bottle.  A black bucket at his side.  Stage lights rest on the floor.  A British flag.

 

 

You’ll learn. 

You’ll learn to walk away and not remember.

You’ll learn to take it up the arse.

You’ll learn.

 

You’ll learn.

You’ll learn health and safety.

You’ll learn to go to sleep at a reasonable time.

You’ll learn.

 

You’ll learn.

You’ll learn because I’ll teach you.

You’ll learn.

 

You’ll learn to do what I tell you.

You’ll learn.

You’ll learn.
