About This Book
While working in a well-known pharmacy chain, Jeremy Dixon found surprising inspiration. His poems were written on the ends of till rolls and smuggled out in his socks. (The book is designed to evoke this quirky route to publication, with additional poems and comments in the 'till roll message' of each page.) Anyone who has ever worked in retail will recognise the characters and situations, and the magnificent management absurdities; but Jeremy also brings his perspective as a gay man to bear, with witty and wicked results.

With the night come drunks
from the Bay wanting
Red Bull and paracetamol,
who swear when the till
wonāt sell them five packs.
Come methadone paper
wavers, talking backwards,
crashing electric doors.
Come red raw builders
buying aerosol plasters,
their Pepsi kids swerving
Perfume on scooters.
Five minutes to go
and a bulldogged woman
is after some discount
Revlon foundation. All there is
is a labelled gap. She leans close
to whisper: I can get you cut.

Iāve won an Armani Homme tester
for being the pinkest assistant at todayās
mega-points bonus event. I wear a pink
shirt and a pink tie bought cheap in Oxfam
Penarth. The Beauty girls sport pink tops
with pink skirts, pink tights and pink shoes,
flick aerosol-sprayed pink hair,
pink glitter irritating eyes an all-day red.
So when my victory is announced
itās not a surprise to hear a low rumble
from the make-up counter. And I bet
it didnāt help me writing an acceptance
speech on the staffroom flipchart
making out Iād been handed an Oscar.
