Choose unironically ripping off a film to be ironic
Choose now because then will never be enough
Choose puff puff puff puff puff pass because you’ll never have enough
Choose feeling guilty in the morning because it’s better...

How will they remember us 
Those born after the war. 
What will they say about us.

Will they fully grasp the level of our sell out
Our denial of simple pleasures to our children,
Not letting them know...

Got up this morning
Too busy yawning
To see the pee pot
Spilled the whole lot
With a short kick
Not a recommended trick
Bathroom door was locked
Stood in my pee soaked socks
Flatulence turns to lumps
Underwear full of bumps

Toaster mysteriously jammed
Smoke...

The System Disk

That wide open plan, 
The desktop area so spacious, 
A vast canvas so beautiful;
Why do you sit there, 
Open to all for their curiosity? 
When you to me call.

Oh cupboard, that hard disk...

Where dry walls turn to dust
they depart.
They enter as laughter.
They roost on struts and beams.
Rafters for each shinning feather
whether or not each feather is stiff or curly.
Flooring for the angelically inclined

down the lane to get the horse in as it looked like rain
a man in a dark suit walked towards me

Nowhere now to hide, 
Fearing for their hide,
Every time they go for a ride.

Few doors to hide behind,
As open plan puts them one step behind
While governments and councils close their doors and their mind.

Not the...

You don't even have to leave the home,
To find yourself in a space war,
With your own family.

Few spaces now to grow anything of value
Unless you are into wine or dope,
They are even trying to take...

Where is our fight
Doomed to be controlled,
Like robots in the night,
Our hearts growing cold..

Keeping us bound
To open plan offices,
Unnatural sounds
And beige surfaces.

When power is lost,
Creativity strangled.
Eyes staring glossed,
At black rectangles.

Just outside,
A natural utopia.
Yet everyday we...
