Ballyaughlis
Ballyaughlis crossroads
pub garage shop
two bus stop
into Belfast
one to school
one coming home
Jimmy McGarry’s hair
slicked like an old rocker
rickety open double doors
behind ancient Esso pumps
dull crimson corrugated iron
greasy dark navy overalls
naked underneath
put a tiger in your tank
Daddy doesn’t use him
Uncle Bonar does
