The Dystopian

We should want More.

One, Two, Three...

Home is a cardboard box

Littered with holes, both pried and tired

Cowering behind transparent locks

Our pathetic banal bovines graze

Pitter-patter tapping rhythm

Perpetual petty things amaze

Four, Five, Six...

Party to humble vermin and bashful worms

Sitting in happy filth and colourful dust

The helping hands on cunning clocks

Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten.

Do you need colours with 101 shades of grey?

Our bulimic lies washed in chloroform

Saturated satanic libido in every way

A gram of butter keeps me slim

Their eyes only glisten on fool’s gold

Gluttons perish on wasted curds away

End transmission.

I scream inside to avoid the finger I eat books of dead authors and try to absolve madness with contraband I dream, I feel, I reach, I touch, I die a death each time I run home and I bathe in sewage to feel so wrong I make love to the world through my hands and catch the 9:07 to make myself smile.

Absolution is a clergyman's folly and I look for Him within

when the clock says 26:01

seas part

miracles made

as I gaze

into the light green sky

I cleanse my sin.
