(Welcome to Casio Pier. We apologise if, for any reason, the 20th century is lost on you.) Every breath of air reeks of youth even the doughnuts are only just being born. And there are colours so bright, on things so badly painted Screaming at nothing, just to hear yourself screaming. Night sky backdrop, yours now. Friendly gunshots ring cartoon bells, and there's nothing to bring you (Down) Through the gaps in the wooden slats (Down) Between the rusted girders (Down) Into the briny black (Down) Where the GRUESOMES grunt and murmur So many threats in that slimy silence The swollen prouds and the shrinking violents And no Cousteau would ever go To where those THINGS still run the show There's a bulging, blistered, barnacled thing With leaking, gummy mess of eye A reeking, scummy, unspeakable thing Whose stink could sicken a stink-fly A thing with goals that seem absurd Given that it basically looks like a turd And over there, the worst disgrace An awful thing that HAS YOUR FACE! A glass-bottomed boat can be a double-edged sword Exposing THINGS perhaps best ignored The handout never mentioned Stygian muck So let's get ashore before we all chuck (Up) On our teacher's corduroy knees (Up) On the Head of Humanities (Up) Into our parents' SUVs (Up) We may have caught a waterborne disease! (For me, though, the main thing was that everyone got home OK. I honestly don't see what difference it makes whether any of us ever talked about it afterwards.)
