I met a man I thought would kill me
As I met him in the dark
Yet he wore shades
And a matching beard
His hand went to his pocket
Where there must be a gun
Hot against his thigh
But he pulled out a book
A book of wonder
I watched my surprise in his shades
Smelt his dinner on his breath
Saw his gum recession in his smile
A few nasal hairs were hiding
In the party on his lip
He held his arms out wide
To embrace me
(We'd only just met)
What the hell, I'm up for a hug
I'll think the best
His chefs kitchen knife
As seen on tv
Sank into my back
As I fell at the feet of his Nikes
Fluorescent green
God is great he said
I laid my head on his trainer
God is great he said
I kissed the label
Felt the heat in my back
God is great he said
I felt my boxer shorts heavy and wet
God is great he said
Damn straight
God is great.
