Hank from BAD MEN by Natalie Pryce

There is an old man
alone
dreaming of the ability for erection
There are 4 billion others
that don't dream at all,
just staring at the misery on show
between the hours of the clock
Appetite never quenched
Lusty depression tinned and preserved inside a rusty can
Old men that feel like old men
Surplus skin
Eyes too blue
Hair re-distributed for maximum humiliation
Women are afraid of men
Men are afraid of men
Some were teachers, scientists, poets, punks
Some were soldiers raping foreign girls
Some ruled the world raping you
They all saw it
between the hours of the clock
between the distance between them
between the distance inside them
Surplus skin
Old men
