My Parents Have The Mania
Ulysses Hero


'It was the drum, drum, drum
which woke me.
I stood on the landing, the lights were on,
in the dinning room stood dad
in front of him mum.
They did not hold or touch,
but moved in a jig like motion
sweating profusely
with a mirror like itch;
both rubbed an invisible tree
a consuming effort to relieve their madness.

It was a strange calamity to watch:
balanced on heels, toes in awe of the ceiling
with elbows not knowing what to do;
neither hummed nor sang a tune,
but mentioned an irrelevant creature
which brought a mutual raise of an eyebrow,
as if to encourage laughter.

The music stopped, just for a moment
until father wound up the gramophone, adding
in a strange and guttural tone, 'Hay baby!
Yeah baby! Kick off yer shoes and paint the room.'
But they had no shoes on, the room was already papered
and I liked it the way it was.

I shuffled back to bed
wondering, would I get the day off school
if beetles carry diseases!'
