Accumulator
It's not about picking 14 certainties.
Any lad can do that any Saturday.
The accumulator is a way:
in the staff cafe
of a plastic factory, or a supermarket,
staring at the gum-flecked artic
of a false ceiling,
The accy is an escape, a promise:
you're never more than 24 hours from Rio.
It goes like this:
bank £80k, bag a private jet,
ship Seal in from Miami,
from Tianjin:
wherever the fuck he is.........
and you're smashing the copacabana
til the cash is all gone and you clock on again.........
