Woke up in a cold hotel room, in
winter cold Wales didn’t have coins
for the gas heater and it wasn’t quite
morning yet. Beside me, in the semi
darkness the outline of a woman’s
sleeping face, Mohamed Ali hit me
in the solar plexus woke up at count
nine when the referee was nailing my
hands to the floor. Hazily recalled
a wedding reception where I was
the groom holding on to a table full
of food and booze. Why did she had
to marry me, didn’t she see that I was
drunk? Confused and bleeding I got
up off the floor, dressed, went down
to the bar and since no one was there
pulled myself a pint of lager planning
how to get out of that one.
