Picture a gate - an old, rusty iron-gate, with
Creaky hinges, spired tips and 
Cobwebs
That drift a little when the wind goes by. 
.
At its foot, in a little heap, is an old man
With a polearm, dressed in rags and 
Sipping black liquid from a
Rusted-blue tin cup. 
.
He's been employed by the city
To ward off vandals, 
But has been sat there for so long
That he's grown to see himself 
.
As mayor - a public servant, 
A permanent fixture.
.
There's an outhouse behind the gate
That he uses during his breaks. 
Occasionally, kids will come by 
And ask to use it, but he tells them:
.
.
"Gate closed," 
"Piss off,"
Which is another way 
Of saying:
.
"it's mine."
.
.
"Gate-keeping little prick,"
I mumble, as he flourishes me away
And I'm left to stumble into the dark 
To find another spot to relieve myself.
.
He follows me with his eyes.
.
"That's mine, too!" He croaks.
.
I'm ten meters down the fence
With my unit in my hands
Just trying to get the poison out,
Fantasizing about where on his person 
.
I could aim.
.
I shift two more meters.
.
"NOT THERE Either!"
.
Little f****r thinks he owns relief,
And I picture us both 
Tugging war 
On either end of my Johnson
.
Fighting over who has a right 
      to piss where.
.
.
A pissing match, I think that's called,
And so I empty upon his fence 
.
for spite.
.
