9pm Grandma, (Nan) Grandad, (Jim) and me... Sitting on her knee Feeling safe and happy. 9pm Grandma, (Nan) Grandad, (Jim) and me Watching TV News at Nine- HIV! 9pm, Grandma, (Nan) Grandad, (Jim), and me Two men kissing HIV and me Sitting on my Nans knee Feeling safe and happy 9pm Nan, Jim and me Curious to see Two men kissing on TV H-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l-s with HIV. Let me see! Let me see! Feelings in my tummy Thats me How lovely! The knee The hands The arms The legs A wave of revulsion From my grandmas chest Penetrates my body. ...Grandad? Bloody faggots, The lot of em Shoot the buggers The filthy scum! ...and me? Feeling good, Feeling bad, Feeling guilty, Feeing sad, Feeling threatened, Feeling bled, Feeling unloved, Feeling dread. Grandma, Grandad, Nan? Jim?... Dont you bring no harm to him. Treat him wisely, Watch him grow, With the safe, sound knowledge That you LOVED him so. 2014 Random Poems #16 Paul H
