122/Ubiquitous I used to have a lovely bunch of coconuts, I lost them in the rain. Something about spaghetti and ill gotten trains.
I don’t like this sit. It sits in strange ways. Left cheek tingles, right cheeks numb foots gone drowsy, other ones fast asleep The stand brings a stumble, a drunken lurch My feet rouse quickly, but not my ***

We sits unwell
They're gathering Theses shadowed dwellers from places that hurt the eye, to peer into They twist and writhe in my throat, stabbing their sharpness into my brain merciless, unfeeling. What banishes such indomitable spirits? sleep? postpones their march

They’re back
It’s not Settled It’s not there The heart isn’t a willing disciple. Judas turning his head Every which way but that way comforting love is a strange Companion Is it real if it isn’t painful? Or wrong? Probably. But I can’t see. my prescription Expired last year so who knows.

Those moments in life That staccato heart beat An anxious mind and the release of sleep The tightness of a chest bound by woe Picks up the phone one last time

Definition of unrequited
It's a little quiet One day it'll be an all grown up big quiet But for now, it sneaks around in the brushes Avoiding predators and spreading anxiety. The birds hush as it passes, The wind stops bothering the leaves, The cats lie flat against the ground and the dogs bare their teeth at empty spaces. Then at the behest of some mysterious conductor The world burst forth into life with renewed vigour, The little quiet passes and successfully survives the day Tomorrow It'll be a little bigger until

Post Apocalypse
The questions don’t stop. The incessant babbling of a panicked boss The bone churning boredom of paint drying with the sympathetic tears that accompany a slowly dying animal. I need a drink, rather several, rather all! Maybe, for bonus points, we can throw in a crippling drug addiction that could, maybe, allow for a grasp on the slick walls of the pit. But we both know it won’t. I need to escape, to get away from this horrid existence. But I don’t dare. Yellow bellied sluggard. Thank god for cowardice, or I’d be the main course at the feast of the maggot king.

Pressure
An empire, built on Extreme empathy. Welcomes in the parasite of its own demise Feeds the anarchy with the cornerstones of its ethics. Tears down it’s moral walls so as not to offend it’s destruction Lies with blank smiling eyes, eviscerated in the street. Good thing, good thing we were so woke.

The Woke Imperium
Who welcomed you into dreams Of church fairs and rugby games? Who asked you to sit there At the table like we were still friends? Who asked you to toast with us to the future and couples and tequila shots? Who? I’ll cut them out too

Why are you there!
Your pale white countenance Developing perfect pools of black Your comfort euphoric Your presence detrimental You're insomnia You're Lust You're Impotence Your face numbing effusiveness Congesting rhinal highways. You're too much You're too little You're too Dangerous

You
It’s suffocating. I used to read you through rose tinted sunnies. Now all I see are black and white scratchings It’s you for sure, my heart can tell But your colour is gone. Yawn.
