The Long Slow-Burn Fuse Is Lit Poem by Stephen Brian Brady

The Long Slow-Burn Fuse Is Lit



and morning came

and on the terrace
traces of the imprints
of gauze-stockinged feet

the long slow-burn fuse was lit

trembles
from
showers
towel-rails
mirrors

is squeezed from toothpaste-tubes

the waitress
ruffles her hair
lately pressed inside a motor-scooter helmet

they listen
and wait
wait and listen

crazy for the first clink

LIFT-OFF! !
