Coventry nights

Black cab cavalcades arrive Dark vessels in dark vessels Dress cobblestones in H&M shadows and alcoholic sonnets Being ‘I hate paki taxi drivers’. One they call Trish has a back scab Chinese font emblazons her back A goddess of ultra violet An image in orange Blowing off a bottle of Bud. Mandy’s out for the shag Surrounded by chavs aroma And words which melt her ice exterior ‘you’ve got wicked tits darlin’ ‘not so bad yourself mate’. Three AM kerb vultures Peck away at dead gazelles Kebab meat gorged by kebab meat Devoured in a spon street alleyway Gary gets a blow job Next to where his mate pissed.

Cardiff's no better.
Some nasty connotations there in 'kebab meat gorged by kebab meat'.
Line 6 - 'black scab'?
Pretty cool, very patriotic. I share your sentiments.

Unlike the sepukku from you previous post, here the Chinese font makes sense to me.
It should be longer, though. The ending comes a bit too soon, I think.

A very fine poem. I have been to Coventry and it is a god-forsaken lump of whining Midlands horseshit with no redeeming qualities. 10/10.
