I took the red wounded beast to the hand car wash this morning -
The bold Serbs were undismayed by the state of the upholstery -
While I sat in the diner, reading Carp News, they jet washed the tyres -
A wiry boy scrubbed the seats with potent cleansers -
The radio under the poster of Sarajevo played a 1980s anthem -
A wheezing man left his Skoda with the Serbs -
He read the pull out from The Sun about Muhammad Ali -
I remembered watching the Sonny Liston fight on the glowing Ferguson -
I was twelve years old -
Next morning in the playground we were kings -
A hero would now walk with us in our small world -
