In the future
Apartments
Will be
10ft x 10ft
Because that’s all
You’ll be allocated
(If you’re lucky)
Along with a door number
And a single key
Most are without windows
As outside
There is no longer
Anything one would wish to see
And Government instructions state
THOSE WITH HOMES!
STAY INSIDE!
OR PAY THE PRICE!
LOSE YOUR LIBERTY!
OR YOU’RE LIFE!
Sparsely furnished
They will contain
A trestle table
Which will count as a bed
Not likes the ones
On which we presently
Rest our heads
Against the wall
There will be
A computer desk and swivel chair
Where you can sit
To immerse yourself
In the now stripped down
Government controlled web
To avoid this now un-repairable
Post Blair pre-apocalyptic mess
Anna Archichek
