steam genie
he went to the nursing home yesterday
today the upholstery cleaner arrived
painful memories erased
the photographs are polished bright
her tears blearing the shine
once he scored in the world cup
now he is playing extra time
we are all offside
he takes the penalty
three score years and ten
and ten and ten
the pump roars in the steam genie
like the crowds used to roar
arms raised he punches the sky
i want the toilet please
