This concrete and steel
oozes last week’s freeze
where I sit with my pint
high in the East Stand
having travelled with my boys
but they are already perched
on the folding seats
as I wait for my beer to push
me there via the toilets
where scarfed men shuffle
and queue in silence for urinals
there they unwrap and rezip
after pissing a few quid
before the match
on to others’ left pubes
these gents hope beyond hope
for a home result
as they wash down those hairs
