all you were
lost in copy failures
but intermittent so there's still hope
to be taken from us
a room so warm my head swims
information corrupted
watching you try to fold a newspaper
crumpled in your hands
a bullshit metaphor
for protein mutation
and cell and self
death
you're going to lose
the physical ability to speak
then the mental
and we pretend you're coming back
like you've just slipped away
for a cheeky city break

unearned existence
an impossibility
moonlight licks pale skin
#haiku #poetry #SmallPoems
and why do you imagine
they want to take words away
and have machines preach
the secular rich bitches hitched to a cosmic whim
but have to pretend like it's science
and why do you imagine
they want colour in a zero/one cage
centrally monetised
these are the peole who'll save us?
open sewers in expensive suits
and why do you suppose
there's music in the quarterly projections
for their profit-loss shuffle
