The
last half inch of a black Americano
Beth sat and watched.
She always seemed to be sitting and watching, while the boys in the band set up
their gear in another grubby nightclub. There was a stink of last night’s beer
and of bleach, fighting its losing battle in the toilets. Later she would put
on the wedding dress and the veil and stand on stage while the crowd hurtled
into each other. In the seventies the veil had kept the phlegm of appreciation
from her eyes, but now it was a mask. With it on, she was a punk goddess; with
it off she was gone.
