Royalty
She
was
the
queen
and he
was
the
king
They
had
more
money
between
them
than
God
and
they
thought
if
they
spent
some of
it
for
me
I might
be
impressed
might
even
kneel
down
and
kiss
their
rings
Cyclists
When
they
were
younger
they
used
to
kid
each
other
about
sniffing
girl's
bicycle
seats as
if
they'd
never
done
it
Would
look
at you
as
if you
were
some
little
kid
who
thought
a piece
of
ass
was
a
donkey's
hide
Talked
about
women the
way
butcher's
talk
about
meat
Said
they'd
make
all
the
fillies
dance on
the
heads of
their
pins
Talked as
if
they
weren't
worried
about
getting
it
up
like
they
used
to
Mad
Dog
He was
kind
of
janitor
in a
drum
or
something
Had
false
teeth
that
didn't
fit
right
Kept
sliding
them
forward
in his
mouth
as he
drank
Kept
clanking
them
against
his
glass
Kept
ordering
draught
beers
and
sliding
the
exact
change
across
the bar
as if I
couldn't
count
Sat
sucking
his
gums
as he
drank
Licked
the foam
from his
lips
any
second
the
wild
dog in
him
was going
to
get
out
Catman...the once and always king.
