I’m at the Royal Wedding   in my knitted squares blanket
it’s jaunty   tied  at a
reckless height  around my
shoulders  
I wore the foot-up brace    to stop from tripping 
that lame right leg      imagine    me into the back
of the bloke in the Busby   and the Domino  effect
his
black boot planted on her endless satin train
it’s all about the prophylaxis   a wedding  
not doing  the stuff that fucks you up   
preparedness to commit to a position   I know
my place in line  my golden ticket     lady
luck she’s
in my hand   at last
 
a nightmare
