A couple of nights at the Astral,

two at the Ritz. Next stop the Adelphi.

Marilyn is in it and Gina and Sophia Loren,

the saloon girls of El Paso and Santa Fe

with skirts at the ready.

Open-mouthed, we will yearn through smoky air

for the lips of Kim Novak and Tuesday Weld.

Getting off a mile from the town

is like leaving the stalls before the trailers finish.

‘Big crowd on the bus, son?’ my mother drawls,

her habitual question.

‘It was packed, Maw,’ I tell her, ‘packed to the door.’
