Primate lads in Primark knockoffs
Hanging round dismal in the early evening sun
With their long bare legs
And their air of nonchalant engagement
Eyeing up girls and pretending to be hard
Hey lads
What time's the footy

Nathan has always been an oddity
Nathan or Nath
Like a waif
Like a mistake
Nathan with his clipped rounded vowels
And his penchant for Yves St Laurent
And for accidentally placing his hand on his best friend's leg
Again

The pack lads snarl with throated Lonsdale mature guffaw 
And laugh of Nathan's insinuations
His hints and allegations
And dismiss his failed attempt at humour
The rumour that Nathan or Nath
Once asked Math to take of his shirt 
And then
Licked him
On the nipple

With plastic tubs of cheap Lidl cider
The lads congregate near the duck pond
And slowly get rat arsed
While Nath sticks to a gin and tonic surprisingly
And makes witty retorts about the likelihood of England reaching the semis
And symbolist poetry of the 1920s

Math gets drunk and says he'd like to shag Vanessa McGriggens
Dan gets drunk and says he'd like to shag Vanessa McGriggens
Si gets drunk and says he'd like to shag Vanessa McGriggens
Nath gets tipsy and says there are plenty of people he fancies as well
Paul gets drunk and just honks up

One night in the summer
The primate lads
Ears numbed by clubbing
Crash at Ed's place
Simultaneously and strangely bereft of dates
And yet hummed up
And wired up by the pounding beat and the tone
And the cruel sexualisation of the laser flows
Beat pound body storm of gyrating forms on the dance floor
Electric and alcoholic
Semi naked drunken sprawling lads
Blind to their own prejudices
And eyes tight shut
Each enjoys
One by one
Strangely a form not female
Though equally
If not even more
Pleasurable 

Only in the morning
One of them remembers that Nath
Had left the club early to watch that week's edition
Of The Culture Show
And that's when it all goes very quiet

The primate lads in the bus station the next morning
Seem somewhat less chipper than previously
And nobody can remember very clearly what exactly happened
Or what time the football starts
Or who's even playing
