Black Diamond Heavies

Their teeth were primarily scrabble tiles
' blanks ' and their skulls were full
of latent energy like the inside of a golf ball.
They checked inside my ears, patted
the shade behind my collar bones,
felt the slatted depth between my thighs
and ' yes, it's true ' the other place.
They emptied my pockets; the power
balls confused them and made them angry.
They threatened me with their corrugated
fists and their teeth, the scrabble tiles,
spelt the words TERRIBLE PAIN
and they started to whirr like old-style
bicycle bells and their teeth spelt
NASTY THINGS and suddenly,
they were only wearing Speedos
and their facial hair was like a trail
of gunpowder and their teeth said:
IVE BEEN WAITING ALL MY LIFE
and they went one to each limb
and they each made a wish and pulled.
