Conversation

         Fish pouting, silent shouting

         Wrist hinged, viper biting

         Cigarette flicking ,lip licking

         Conversation

         Eyes flashing, tongue lashing

         Decision, derision

         Brain death, lip stretched

         We wear the sanitary towels and we’re in

         Conversation

         Elastic masks mouth exhortation

         Lip glossed ,finger painted, creamed and powdered

         Nodding permed heads and under-wired faces

         Dance on ice and half rations

         This is a girls night out

          And conversation.
