CABARET
red rubber duck-
dudley moore with
long grey hair
and salford speech
- geriatric teenager
inciting lasciviousness
in an iridescence
of irreverant irrelevance
turning duckless diners
into toetapping dancers
gyrating girdles squeezing
on an uncarpeted square
while wedged waitresses
edge alcoholic trays
towards tipsy tables
atmosphered by candles;
the inside warmth
permeates poorly
to outside pavements
from which rain rebounds
