Old age / bad hips

You assholes, he screams,
you broke writing, you broke it
you took what we gave you and you fucking broke it
 I mean you fucking interview each other
nodding and bobbing your
proud empty sneer
as though that's a fucking piece
your little articles stuck on a wall
like semen stains in a public lavatory,
all beard, no balls, jerking off in a public john…

 I see a tattooed girl touch her
striped and lumbering captain
as he feigns indignation
ready to strike

 but he doesn't

none of them do.
