Elephant & Castle [19]

Your raygun name
is a sour berry,

a hanger-on.
That backwater

pint wouln’t cut
a finch. Is it tough

enough for action
is what I’m asking.

Every barber-can
Smith & Jerry

thinks he’s got us
up a mudchute.

Soak it, chalk
it up to crossing

castles at the gooey
end of the street.
